Actinophyllum
No picture of Actinophyllum was found. Wikidata was searched and had none. Wikipedia has a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Actinophyllum itself, so it was not used. iDigBio and GBIF were not searched: the Paleobiology Database does not place Actinophyllum firmly enough to tell it from something else bearing the same name, and a search on the name alone returns whichever of them was photographed. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is.

Time the record covers
At least 26 million years on record.
The record covers at least 419.62 Mya to 393.47 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 422.7 Mya to 387.95 Mya.
4 occurrences of Actinophyllum on record, most of them in the Devonian. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.
When
4 occurrencesThese are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

The Paleobiology Database records 4 sites for Actinophyllum, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.
This is not a list of everything alive at the time. It is only what has come out of the same ground as this animal and been written down.
Entered from
2 references- Level-bottom brachiopod communities in the Middle Devonian of New York3
- On the plant-remains from the Downtonian of England and Wales1
Each of the 4 occurrences read was entered from one of these publications, ordered by how many each accounts for. This is not a search for papers mentioning the name. Each entry links to doi.org. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
