This taxonomic database provides a listing of all species known from Florissant. In many cases, the taxonomic classification at the generic level and higher is based on revisions from recent taxonomic studies of extant members of these groups. For that reason, the names used in this taxonomic database may sometimes differ from the names used in the Most Recent publication for a Florissant specimen (as listed in the museum database, where many of the Most Recent published names of Florissant taxa actually date from the late 1800s or early 1900s). The detail page of the taxonomic database provides a link for Museum Reference which shows all of the museum specimens that are assigned to the specified taxon.
