Description
Nanosiren was named in 2008 based on fossils uncovered from the Bone Valley Formation near Tampa, Florida. The species was described and named by Daryl P. Domning of Howard University and Orangel A. Aguilera of the Universidad Nacional Experimental Francisco de Miranda, Venezuela in 2008, along with a second plausible species Nanosiren sanchezi. The name was chosen to commemorate famed Florida paleontologist Frank A. Garcia, who uncovered many fossil samples of the extinct mammal from the Bone Valley phosphate mines in Central Florida. ==References==
