It is the second and most recent epoch of the Neogene Period in the Cenozoic, Cenozoic Era. The Pliocene follows the Miocene Epoch and is followed by the Pleistocene Epoch. Prior to the 2009 revision of the geologic time scale, which placed the four most recent major glaciations entirely within the Pleistocene, the Pliocene also included the Gelasian Stage, which lasted from 2.59 to 1.81 Ma, and is now included in the Pleistocene. As with other older geologic periods, the Stratum, geological strata that define the start and end are well-identified but the exact dates of the start a ...

Aetomylaeus Vespertilio
The ornate eagle ray or reticulate eagle ray (''Aetomylaeus vespertilio'') is a species of large stingray of the family Myliobatidae. Like other rays, the ornate eagle ray is ovoviviparous. ''Aetomylaeus vespertilio'' are estimated to have a low fecundity similar to other myliobatids. They have a generation length of 15 years, and can grow as old as 24 years. They are a predatory cartilaginous fish, preying mostly on small invertebrates, polychaete worms, and some echinoderms. They have earned the nickname "unicorn of the sea" due to how rarely they are spotted in the wild. Appearance ''Aetomylaeus vespertilio'' has a maximum size of around 240 cm in disc width and a clearly distinct pattern of reticulate dark lines and rings on its back. If the extremely long tail is unbroken, it can considerably add to the maximum body length of 4m. Lacking a spine on the tail, it is deemed harmless to humans. Distribution ''Aetomylaeus vespertilio'' can be spotted up to 110 meters deep alo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
