Aporrhainae
No picture of Aporrhainae was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Aporrhainae, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 199 million years on record.
The record covers at least 199.5 Mya to 11.7 ka. No occurrence read is dated outside 201.4 Mya to 0 Mya.
524 occurrences of Aporrhainae on record, most of them in the Late Cretaceous. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group. 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
524 occurrences- Early Jurassic1%
- Middle Jurassic10%
- Late Jurassic7%
- Early Cretaceous17%
- Late Cretaceous25%
- Paleocene5%
- Eocene3%
- Oligocene5%
- Miocene16%
- Pliocene6%
- Pleistocene4%
- Holoceneunder 1%
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 406 sites for Aporrhainae, and this reads 240 of them. Of that, one read hit the database's own return limit, so every count below is a floor rather than a total. 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.

Each of the 524 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. 146 further references are not listed. 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.

No 3D scan of Aporrhainae was found in Smithsonian Open Access and Sketchfab.
MorphoSource was not reached for this taxon, so this list is what the others held rather than everything there is.
This is what the site found, which is not the same as what exists.
