Adelophthalmus carbonarius
No picture of Adelophthalmus carbonarius was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Adelophthalmus carbonarius, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 8.2 million years on record.
The record covers at least 315.2 Mya to 307 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 323.4 Mya to 303.7 Mya.
3 occurrences of Adelophthalmus carbonarius on record, most of them in the Carboniferous. 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
3 occurrences- Carboniferous100%
These 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 3 sites for Adelophthalmus carbonarius, and this reads all of them.

2 references- New data on eurypterids (Eurypterida, Chelicerata) of the upper Carboniferous of the Donets Basin2
- [Arthropoda from the Urals and other regions of the U.S.S.R.]1
Each of the 3 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. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
