Hicorocodium elegantae
No picture of Hicorocodium elegantae was found. Wikidata was searched and had none. iDigBio and GBIF were not searched: the Paleobiology Database does not place Hicorocodium elegantae 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 35 million years on record.
The record covers at least 290.1 Mya to 254.14 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 293.52 Mya to 251.902 Mya.
5 occurrences of Hicorocodium elegantae on record, most of them in the Permian. 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
5 occurrences- Permian100%
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.
