Chapattimyidae

Chapattimyidae is an extinct family of rodent from Asia. According to Fossilworks, it contains two subfamilies and six unplaced genera.Subfamily Baluchimyinae Flynn et al. 1986 Asterattus Flynn and Cheema 1994 Baluchimys Flynn et al. 1986 Lindsaya Flynn et al. 1986 Lophibaluchia Flynn et al. 1986 Wakkamys Flynn et al. 1986 Zindapiria Flynn and Cheema 1994 Subfamily Chapattimyinae Averianov 1996 Khodzhentia Averianov 1996 Terrarboreus Shevyreva 1971 Unplaced genera Basalomys Hartenberger 1982 Birbalomys Sahni and Khare 1973 Chapattimys Hussain et al. 1978 Gumbatomys Hartenberger 1982 Kazygurtia Nessov 1987 Subathumys Gupta and Kumar 2015

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

86 occurrences of Chapattimyidae on record, most of them in the Eocene. 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

86 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.

The Paleobiology Database records 29 sites for Chapattimyidae, and this reads all of them. 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.

22 references

Each of the 86 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. 10 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.
