Equini

Equini is the only living tribe of the subfamily Equinae, which has lived worldwide since the Hemingfordian stage of the Middle Miocene. It is considered to be a monophyletic clade.

Time the record covers

At least 23 million years on record.

The record covers at least 23.04 Mya to 11.7 ka. No occurrence read is dated outside 27.3 Mya to 0 Mya.

2,752 occurrences of Equini on record, most of them in the Pleistocene. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group. 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

2,752 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 named rock units Equini has been recovered from, largest first. Drawn where the rock is now, not where it formed. 231 further formations hold fewer occurrences each and are not listed. 1,472 occurrences have no formation on record, which is common for older literature.

968 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records at least 1,546 sites for Equini, and this reads 240 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

863 references

Each of the 2,752 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. 851 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.
