Coresxrvon: Difference between revisions

'''Coresxrvon''' (IPA: /kso.re.sʁ̩.vɔn/) is an archæological site in the eponymous County Coresxrvon, [[Kannur|Kannur State]]. It encompasses the ruins of the historic city of Coresxrvon, which was the capital of the Third, Third-and-a-Half, and Fifth Dynasties of the Coscivian Middle Empire, and later the capital of the Elman Kingdom during the Second Inter-Imperium. Coresxrvon persisted as significant population centre until its destruction in the War of Antaric Succession, after which it was never reconstituted as an identifiable settlement. However, its past prominence is reflected in the names of the surrounding countyship and a {{wp|titular see}} of the Coscivian Orthodox Church.  

==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 ''[[Rattusfukus]]''. ''Rattusfukus'' (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 [[History of paleontology#Mamals|distinction is significant]] is because if the stone sediments in which ''Rattusfukus'' were found in are indeed from the {{wpl|Maastrichtian}} period, ''Rattusfukus'' 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.
