In 2017 a study came out claiming that Troodon is a dubious genus (not invalid like some people claim!), he goes on to state that any new fossil discoveries assigned to Troodon would need to be from the Judith river formation. He later implys that the only fossil of Judith river formation troodon is the holotype specimen (which is a tooth). The last part is actually false! I want to create a discussion around this as they have been many teeth, eggs and even vertebrae from the Judith river formation that seem to suggest that the 2017 is flawed.

Wilkingia terminale vs Wilkingia terminalis
DPS Ammonite posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
What is the proper ending for the specific name of Wilkingia terminale: terminale or terminalis? Allorisma was renamed Wilkingia in 1959 by Wilson. I suspect since the genus name was changed the ending of the specific name needed to change to match the case, gender and number of the genus name. Anyone fluent in Latin and good at matching their word endings? http://fossilworks.org/bridge.pl?a=taxonInfo&taxon_no=18845 http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/frank/KISS/kiss9.htm -

Hi, I have looked through the internet and couldn't find information on this and thought maybe someone passing through could give me and quick answer. Why things share similar words in latin when sometimes they are not related at all. For example Dickin(Sonia) ( a flat Ediacaran animal ) Dick(Sonia) ( a tree fern ) Cook(Sonia) ( one of the first vascular plants ) These are three different species that share not too much. (aside from everything is connected) Or another example is: Archaeo(therium) ( a boar like predator in the Miocene ) Kayenta(therium) (

Hi guys! I just uploaded a gallery of modern Carcharhinus upper dentitions: . The images are from my master's thesis (Smith 2015), the full text is available at (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316735477_Species_discrimination_in_Carcharhinus_shark_teeth_using_elliptic_Fourier_analysis). Unfortunately, due to file size limitations, the images in the paper are not really good enough for detailed analysis of the morphology. So I have uploaded them individually here. I personally extracted the teeth from almost all of these jaws...If I remember correctly, they were soaked in isopro

So I've been reading about paleontology for awhile now, I've read all sorts of books and articles and theses, but the one thing I don't understand is what is the complete list of levels of classification? The average example usually shows eight, in this order: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. But since this is only basic taxonomy there are more than just eight; the ones I know are: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Subphylum, Grandclass, Class, Subclass, Infraclass, Legion, Cohort, Grandorder, Order, Suborder, Family, Subfamily, Tribe, Genus, Species, and Subspecies; b

Hi all, How do you all go about pronouncing the scientific names of species that you find? So far, I've just gone with what sounds right and tweaked it based off what I hear others say. Most genus and species names are derived from Greek and Latin I believe, so looking at pronunciations in those languages may help. But is there any outside resource that you all use, or do you just say it how you see it? I'd hate to disrespect a shark by butchering his name!

Can a better linguist than I (not hard!) help out here? The belemnite species suffix for Lagonibelus beaumontiana (d'Orbigny) would presumably be based on "belus" being feminine. However, original Russian sources give it as "L. beaumontianus" and other belemnite genera with the same element (Pleurobelus, Gastrobelus etc.) all have masculine species endings. I know gender endings can be tricky and -us isn't always masculine but there seems to be widespread discrepancy here. (The London NHM and Martill & Hudson's Fossils of the Oxford Clay both go wit

What is the definition of a “described” species?
Sagebrush Steve posted a topic in Questions & Answers
What does it take for a species to officially be “described”? I know there must be more than just having a paper written about it, there must be some minimum requirements for the contents of the paper. And am I correct that you can’t establish a full species name unless it has been “described”? -
