✧ Rodents ✧

Rodents are mammals of the order Rodentia, characterized by two pairs of continuously growing incisors, one pair in the upper jaw and one pair in the lower jaw. About forty percent of all species of mammals are rodents, and they are found on all continents except Antarctica. They are the most diversified mammalian order, in...

"Ahvaytum bahndooiveche is now the oldest-known dinosaur from #Laurasia, the Northern Hemisphere land mass of the late Paleozoic supercontinent #Pangea... That age places it in a similar time period to #dinosaurs of Pangea's Southern Hemisphere land mass, #Gondwana, which were thought to be the world's first by a long shot."

Study shows #orchids emerged in northern hemisphere and thrived alongside #dinosaurs for 20 million years https://phys.org/news/2024-02-orchid-family-emerged-northern-hemisphere.html

"they were previously thought to have emerged on the #supercontinent #Gondwana, in what is present-day #Australia. However, the new study indicates their common ancestor may have originated in the northern hemisphere, on the supercontinent #Laurasia, before spreading out further into the world."

Interrelationships among Early Triassic faunas of Western #Gondwana and #Laurasia as illuminated by a new South American benthosuchid temnospondyl https://anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.25384

"Named #Kwatisuchus rosai, the #animal was approximately 1.5 m in length. It belonged to #Benthosuchidae, a small group of giant #crocodile-like #amphibians that lived during the Triassic. They were primarily aquatic, living in rivers and lakes."

Now the more #riebeckite facies of the #Paleozoic #Quincy #Granite

The Quincy granite was a prized architectural stone, most famously used in the #BunkerHill Monument in #Boston #Massachusetts. Current dating suggests it was intruded into #Avalonia before it glommed onto #Laurentia as #Laurasia and #Pangea were assembled. Today’s #photo set comes from a walk around the eponymous Bunker Hill Quarry. I’ll post more about the history later. Captions!

New enantiornithine #bird from the the uppermost #Cretaceous of southern #Patagonia, #Argentina https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195667122003160

#Yatenavis shares morphological features with Late Cretaceous #enantiornithines found at diverse localities, including #Madagascar, North America, Patagonia, and #CentralAsia. This may indicate the presence of an enantiornithine subclade widely distributed across #Gondwana and #Laurasia.
