English: A sample list of gaps in the fossil record (as of 2013) in terms of missing data (globally) between two fossils of the same species, genera, family, order etc. separated by millions of years.
Index fossils must have a short vertical range, wide geographic distribution and rapid evolutionary trends. Another term, "zone fossil", is used when the fossil has all the characters stated above except wide geographical distribution; thus, they correlate the surrounding rock to a biozone rather than a specific time period.
The chimpanzee–human divergence likely took place during around 10 to 7 million years ago. [1] The list of fossils begins with Graecopithecus, dated some 7.2 million years ago, which may or may not still be ancestral to both the human and the chimpanzee lineage.
This list will include the type fossils of each sauropodomorph species. In paleontology , a type specimen is one which is definitionally a member of a biological taxon . Additional specimens can only be "referred" to these taxa if an expert deems them sufficiently similar to the type and publishes that opinion in the scientific literature.
