Summary
[edit]DescriptionMegaloceros giganteus Irish elk skeleton (Pleistocene) (15443938885).jpg |
Megaloceros giganteus (Blumenbach, 1799) Irish elk skeleton from the Pleistocene (public display, Cleveland Museum of Natural History, Cleveland, Ohio, USA). The famous Irish elk, or Megaloceros giganteus (Blumenbach, 1799), was a large, late Cenozoic deer that had enormous antlers. The species is well represented by numerous fossils found in Ireland. Its geographic range extended from northwestern Europe to northern Africa to eastern Asia. Its temporal range extends from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene to the early Holocene. Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Mammalia, Artiodactyla, Cervidae By the way, some will insist that the traditional term "Irish elk" is incorrect, because it was a deer and that it isn't only found in Ireland. Common names do not have scientific significance - they never have. I would recommend that people "chill" when it comes to common names. As an example, many do not call starfish "starfish" anymore, the logic being that they are not fish (which is true). Their common name is now frequently "seastars". Well, they aren't stars, either. "Starfish" is fine - no one thinks they are fish. |
