Information About

Elvis Taxon




By contrast, a Lazarus Taxon is one which actually ''is'' a descendant of the original taxon, and highlights missing fossil records, which may be filled later.

The term Elvis taxon is used because of the large number of sightings of Elvis Presley long after his death, as well as for his many Impersonators .

''Lobothyris subgregaria'', a brachiopod from the early Jurassic period is one example of such a taxon. {Link without Title}
