Time the record covers

At least 218 million years on record.

The record covers at least 455 Mya to 237 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 458.2 Mya to 174.7 Mya.

2,064 occurrences of Chonetidae 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

2,064 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.
