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

Time the record covers
At least 30 million years on record.
The record covers at least 241.464 Mya to 211.18 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 243.43 Mya to 205.7 Mya.
8 occurrences of Cavussurella on record, most of them in the Late Triassic. 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
8 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 7 sites for Cavussurella, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too.
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- Middle and Upper Triassic Marine Ostracoda from the Shublik Formation, Northeastern Alaska7
- Ussuricavininae - novoe podsemeystvo Triasovykh ostrakod1
Each of the 8 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 the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
