Dalmanites

Searched as Hausmannia. The Paleobiology Database treats Dalmanites as the accepted name.

No picture of Dalmanites was found. Wikipedia and iDigBio were searched and had none. Wikidata has a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Dalmanites itself, so it was not used. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Dalmanites, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At least 377 million years on record.

The record covers at least 450.1 Mya to 72.2 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 461 Mya to 66 Mya.

470 occurrences of Dalmanites on record, most of them in the Silurian. 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

470 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.

1,694 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 208 sites for Dalmanites, 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

170 references

Each of the 470 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. 158 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.
