Crepidula (Janacus) crepidula
No picture of Crepidula (Janacus) crepidula 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 Crepidula (Janacus) crepidula, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 38 million years on record.
The record covers at least 41.03 Mya to 2.58 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 48.07 Mya to 1.8 Mya.
7 occurrences of Crepidula (Janacus) crepidula on record, most of them in the Miocene. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group, and the chart stops with its fossils rather than at the present. 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
7 occurrences- Eocene14%
- Miocene57%
- Pliocene14%
- Pleistocene14%
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 7 sites for Crepidula (Janacus) crepidula, 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.
