Time the record covers

At least 24 million years on record.

The record covers at least 27.3 Mya to 2.58 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 33.9 Mya to 774 ka.

119 occurrences of Gemmula (Gemmula) on record, most of them in the Miocene. 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

119 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.

Where Gemmula (Gemmula) and its relatives were recorded in the Miocene.

Found in the same rock

612 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 59 sites for Gemmula (Gemmula), and this reads all of them. Of that, one read hit the database's own return limit, so every count below is a floor rather than a total. 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

11 references

Each of the 119 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.
