摘要: A new fossil showing affinities with extant Laemanctus offers the first clear evidence for a casquehead lizard (Corytophanidae) from Eocene of North America. Along Geiseltaliellus roughly coeval rocks in central Europe, find further documents tropical fauna present during greenhouse conditions northern mid-latitudes approximately 50 million years ago (Ma). Modern Corytophanidae is neotropical clade iguanian lizards ranging southern Mexico to South
