Caestocorbula

Caestocorbula is an extinct genus of saltwater clams in the family Corbulidae. The name has been created for fossils from the Eocene of Belgium.

No picture of Caestocorbula 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 Caestocorbula, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

At least 118 million years on record.

The record covers at least 152.21 Mya to 33.9 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 154.8 Mya to 23.04 Mya.

543 occurrences of Caestocorbula on record, most of them in the Late Cretaceous. 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

543 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.

1,115 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 425 sites for Caestocorbula, 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 543 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. 49 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.
