Time the record covers
At least 53 million years on record.
The record covers at least 56 Mya to 2.58 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 59.24 Mya to 774 ka.
2 occurrences of Cribrobulimina on record. 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 occurrences- Paleocene50%
- Pleistocene50%
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 1 site for Cribrobulimina, 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.
Entered from
2 references- Maastrichtian, Danian and Thanetian beds in Dolenja Vas (NW Dinarides, Yugoslavia), microfacies foraminifers, rudists and corals1
- Molluscan faunas of the Early Pleistocene Point Allen Formation and Burnham limestone, South Australia1
Each of the 2 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.
