The DRC borders the Central African Republic , and South Sudan to the north ; Uganda , Rwanda , Burundi and Tanzania to the east ; Zambia and Angola to the south ; the Republic of the Congo to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest . It is the second - largest country in Africa by ___MASK13___ and eleventh largest in the world . With a population of over 80 million , the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most populated officially Francophone country , the fourth most - populated nation in Africa and the eighteenth most populated country in the world . New Jersey is a state in the Northeastern United States and mid - Atlantic regions of the United States . It is bordered on the north and east by New York , on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean , on the west by Pennsylvania , and on the southwest by Delaware .

S . state by per capita income as of 2014 . ___MASK93___ is a state in the southeastern region of the United States . It is bordered by Tennessee to the north , Georgia to the east , Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the south , and Mississippi to the west . ___MASK93___ is the 30th - most extensive and the 24th - most populous of the U . S . states . At nearly , ___MASK93___ has one of the nation ' s longest navigable inland waterways . Dyrosaurus is a genus of extinct crocodylomorph that lived from the upper Cretaceous to the Eocene period , surviving the K - Pg extinction event . " Dyrosaurus " are linked to pholidosaurids as a clade are defined as slender - snouted , fish - eating specialists adapted to near - shore marine habitats . The ___MASK31___ are a group of mostly marine , long jawed , ___MASK77___ - like animals up to 6 meters long . Based on bone tissue evidence , it has been hypothesized that the they were slow - growing near - shore marine animal that had interlocking closed jaws and were quadrupedal with the ability to swim as well as walk on land . It has external nostrils at the posterior end of its snout and an internal naris in its pterygoid , indicative of the need for hunting while swimming with its top of its skull protruding from the water to breathe and see prey easily . ___MASK31___ is a family of extinct neosuchian crocodyliforms that lived from the Late Cretaceous ( Maastrichtian ) to the Eocene . Dyrosaurid fossils are globally distributed , having been found in Africa , Asia , Europe , North America and South America . Over a dozen species are currently known , varying greatly in overall size and cranial shape . All were presumably aquatic , with species inhabiting both freshwater and marine environments . Ocean - dwelling dyrosaurids were among the few marine reptiles to survive the Cretaceous  Paleogene extinction event . Congosaurus is an extinct genus of dyrosaurid mesoeucrocodylian . Fossils have been found from Angola and date back to the Paleocene epoch . In 1952 and 1964 Congosaurus was proposed to be synonymous with Dyrosaurus . The genus was later thought synonymous with Hyposaurus in 1976 and 1980 . It has since been proven a distinct genus of dyrosaurid separate from both Dyrosaurus and Hyposaurus . In 2007 a new species of Congosaurus was constructed after previously being assigned to Rhabdognathus , and named C . compressus , extending the geographic range of the genus into the present - day Sahara . Lateromedially compressed teeth show its close relation to C . bequaerti . Southern Africa is the southernmost region of the African continent , variably defined by geography or geopolitics , and including several countries .

Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest , home to diverse wildlife , a variety of ecological systems , and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats . This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries , and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection . Binomial nomenclature ( also called binominal nomenclature or binary nomenclature ) is a formal system of naming species of living things by giving each a name composed of two parts , both of which use Latin grammatical forms , although they can be based on words from other languages . Such a name is called a binomial name ( which may be shortened to just " binomial "), a binomen or a scientific name ; more informally it is also called a Latin name . The first part of the name identifies the genus to which the species belongs ; the second part identifies the species within the genus . For example , humans belong to the genus " ___MASK95___ " and within this genus to the species " ___MASK95___ sapiens ". The " formal " introduction of this system of naming species is credited to Carl Linnaeus , effectively beginning with his work " Species Plantarum " in 1753 . But Gaspard Bauhin , in as early as 1623 , had introduced in his book " Pinax theatri botanici " ( English , " Illustrated exposition of plants ") many names of genera that were later adopted by Linnaeus . The Paleocene or Palaeocene , the " old recent ", is a geologic epoch that lasted from about . It is the first epoch of the Paleogene Period in the modern Cenozoic Era . As with many geologic periods , the strata that define the epoch ' s beginning and end are well identified , but the exact ages remain uncertain . Angola , officially the Republic of Angola (; Kikongo , Kimbundu and Umbundu : " Repubilika ya Ngola "), is a country in Southern Africa . It is the seventh - largest country in Africa and is bordered by ___MASK83___ to the south , the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north and east , Zambia to the east , and the Atlantic Ocean to west . The exclave province of Cabinda has borders with the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo . The capital and largest city of Angola is Luanda . Africa is the world ' s second - largest and second - most - populous continent . At about 30 . 3 million km² ( 11 . 7 million square miles ) including adjacent islands , it covers 6 % of Earth ' s total surface ___MASK13___ and 20 . 4 % of its total land ___MASK13___ . With 1 . 1 billion people as of 2013 , it accounts for about 15 % of the world ' s ___MASK61___ population . The continent is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north , both the Suez Canal and the Red Sea along the Sinai Peninsula to the northeast , the Indian Ocean to the southeast , and the Atlantic Ocean to the west . The continent includes Madagascar and various archipelagos . It contains 54 fully recognized sovereign states ( countries ), nine territories and two " de facto " independent states with limited or no recognition . A genus ( genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms in biology . In the hierarchy of biological classification , genus comes above species and below family . In binomial nomenclature , the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus . Pernambuco is a state of Brazil , located in the Northeast region of the country . The state of Pernambuco also includes the archipelago Fernando de Noronha . With an estimated population of 9 . 2 million people in 2013 , it is the seventh most populous state of Brazil , and is the sixth most densely populated and the 19th most extensive among the states and territories of the country . Its capital and largest city , Recife , is one of the most important economic and urban hubs in the country . As of 2013 estimates , Recife ' s metropolitan ___MASK13___ is the fifth most populous in the country , and the largest urban agglomeration in the Northeast Brazil . The Cretaceous is a geologic period and system that spans 79 million years from the end of the Jurassic Period million years ago ( ___MASK18___ ) to the beginning of the Paleogene Period ___MASK18___ . It is the last period of the Mesozoic Era . The Cretaceous Period is usually abbreviated K , for its German translation " Kreide " ( chalk ). In biology , an organism is any contiguous living system , such as an ___MASK30___ , plant , fungus , archaeon , or bacterium . All known types of organisms are capable of some degree of response to stimuli , reproduction , growth and development and homeostasis . An organism consists of one or more cells ; when it has one cell it is known as a unicellular organism ; and when it has more than one it is known as a multicellular organism . Most unicellular organisms are of microscopic scale and are thus loosely described as microorganisms . Humans are multicellular organisms composed of many trillions of cells grouped into specialized tissues and organs . The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of the world ' s oceans with a total ___MASK13___ of about . It covers approximately 20 percent of the Earth ' s surface and about 29 percent of its water surface ___MASK13___ . It separates the " Old World " from the " New World ". ___MASK83___ , officially the Republic of ___MASK83___ ( German : ), is a country in southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean . It shares land borders with Zambia and Angola to the north , Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east . Although it does not border Zimbabwe , a part of less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River ( essentially a small bulge in Botswana to achieve a Botswana / Zambia micro - border ) separates the two countries . ___MASK83___ gained independence from South Africa on 21 March 1990 , following the Namibian War of Independence . Its capital and largest city is Windhoek , and it is a member state of the United Nations ( UN ), the Southern African Development Community ( SADC ), the African Union ( AU ), and the Commonwealth of Nations . The Paleogene ( or ; also spelled Palaeogene or Palæogene ; informally Lower Tertiary ) is a geologic period and system that spans 43 million years from the end of the Cretaceous Period million years ago ( ___MASK18___ ) to the beginning of the Neogene Period ___MASK18___ . It is the beginning of the Cenozoic Era of the present Phanerozoic Eon . The Paleogene is most notable for being the time during which mammals diversified from relatively small , simple forms into a large group of diverse animals in the wake of the Cretaceous  Paleogene extinction event that ended the preceding Cretaceous Period . The Eusuchia (" true crocodiles ") are a clade of crocodylomorphs that first appears in the Early Cretaceous with " Hylaeochampsa ". Along with ___MASK31___ and Sebecosuchia , they were the only crocodyliformes who survived the K - T extinction . Since the other two clades died out 35 and 11 million years ago , all living crocodilian species are eusuchians , as are many extinct forms . The Republic of Zambia is a landlocked country in Southern Africa , neighbouring the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north , Tanzania to the north - east , Malawi to the east , Mozambique , Zimbabwe , Botswana and ___MASK83___ to the south , and Angola to the west . The capital city is Lusaka , in the south - central part of Zambia . The population is concentrated mainly around Lusaka in the south and the Copperbelt Province to the northwest , the core economic hubs of the country . Mesoeucrocodylia is the clade that includes Eusuchia and the paraphyletic group Mesosuchia . The group appeared during the Early Jurassic , and continues to the present day . Hyposaurus is a genus of extinct marine dyrosaurid crocodyliform . Fossils have been found in Paleocene aged rocks of the Maria Farinha Formation in Pernambuco , Brazil , Iullemmeden Basin in West Africa , ? Campanian  Maastrichtian ( Late Cretaceous ) Shendi Formation of Sudan and Maastrichtian ( Late Cretaceous ) through Danian ( Early Paleocene ) strata in New Jersey , ___MASK93___ and South Carolina . Isolated teeth comparable to " Hyposaurus " have also been found in Thanetian ( Late Paleocene ) strata of ___MASK46___ . It was related to " Dyrosaurus ", and is the only dyrosaurid known from the western hemisphere .
