Istriloculina eliptica

No picture of Istriloculina eliptica was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. 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 Istriloculina eliptica, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

At least 17 million years on record.

The record covers at least 143.1 Mya to 125.77 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 149.2 Mya to 121.4 Mya.

3 occurrences of Istriloculina eliptica on record. 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

3 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 Istriloculina eliptica has been recovered from, largest first. Drawn where the rock is now, not where it formed. 2 occurrences have no formation on record, which is common for older literature.

Found in the same rock

The Paleobiology Database records no fossil sites for Istriloculina eliptica, so there is nothing to compare it with.

Entered from

2 references

Each of the 3 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 doi.org. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
