Gastrochaenolites cluniformis
No picture of Gastrochaenolites cluniformis was found. Wikidata was searched and had none. iDigBio and GBIF were not searched: the Paleobiology Database does not place Gastrochaenolites cluniformis firmly enough to tell it from something else bearing the same name, and a search on the name alone returns whichever of them was photographed. Wikipedia and Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is.

Time the record covers
At least 111 million years on record.
The record covers at least 113.2 Mya to 1.8 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 121.4 Mya to 774 ka.
2 occurrences of Gastrochaenolites cluniformis on record, most of them in the Early Cretaceous. 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 occurrencesThese 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.

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. 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.
