Aztecodus

Searched as Aztecodus harmsenae. The Paleobiology Database treats Aztecodus as the accepted name.

No picture of Aztecodus was found. Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Wikipedia and 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 Aztecodus, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

At most 5.7 million years on record.

The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 387.95 Mya and 382.31 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.

1 occurrence of Aztecodus 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

1 occurrences

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.

1 reference

Each of the 1 occurrence 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.
