==Paleontological significance== | |||
[[Yonderre|Yonderian]] paleontologist [[Guy d'Enserre]] led a dig in Coresxrvon in 2009 on behalf of the [[University of Collinebourg]] that discovered the earliest known fossilized remains of ''[[Rattus fukus]]''. ''Rattus fukus'' (from latin ''Rattus'' meaning "rat" and from Proto-Gothic ''*fuhksaz'' meaning "tailed") is an extremely early example of rodent mammalia, which is either from the very end of the {{wpl|Maastrichtian}} period of the {{wpl|Cretaceous}} period or from the very earliest part of the post-Cretaceous {{wpl|Danian}} period, {{circa}} 65-66 million years ago. The reason the distinction is significant is because if the stone sediments in which ''Rattus fukus'' were found in are indeed from the {{wpl|Maastrichtian}} period, ''Rattus fukus'' then not only represents one of (if not ''the'') earliest species of the order {{wpl|Rodent|Rodentia}} but also a species that not only survived but thrived during and after the {{wpl|Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event}} as evidenced by their presence in [[Crona]], [[Levantia]] and [[Sarpedon]] several million years after the K-Pg event. | |||
