Borophaginae

The extinct Borophaginae form one of three subfamilies found within the canid family.

See Leptocyon and Borophaginae

Caninae

Caninae (whos members are known as canines) is the only living subfamily within Canidae, alongside the extinct Borophaginae and Hesperocyoninae.

See Leptocyon and Caninae

Clarendonian

The Clarendonian North American Stage on the geologic timescale is the North American faunal stage according to the North American Land Mammal Ages chronology (NALMA), typically set from 13,600,000 to 9,000,000 years BP, a period of.

See Leptocyon and Clarendonian

Fox

Foxes are small-to-medium-sized omnivorous mammals belonging to several genera of the family Canidae.

See Leptocyon and Fox

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Leptocyon and Holotype

Miocene

The Miocene is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma).

See Leptocyon and Miocene

North America

North America is a continent in the Northern and Western Hemispheres.

See Leptocyon and North America

Oligocene

The Oligocene is a geologic epoch of the Paleogene Period and extends from about 33.9 million to 23 million years before the present (to). As with other older geologic periods, the rock beds that define the epoch are well identified but the exact dates of the start and end of the epoch are slightly uncertain.

See Leptocyon and Oligocene

Whitneyan

The Whitneyan North American Stage on the geologic timescale is the North American faunal stage according to the North American Land Mammal Ages chronology (NALMA), typically set from 33,300,000 to 30,800,000 years BP, a period of.
