Leionucula gabbi
No picture of Leionucula gabbi 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 Leionucula gabbi, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
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.
5 occurrences of Leionucula gabbi 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
5 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.

The Paleobiology Database records 5 sites for Leionucula gabbi, 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
4 references- Mollusks from late Mesozoic seep deposits, chiefly in California2
- Ammonites of Early Cretaceous age (Valanginian and Hauterivian) from the Pacific Coast states1
- Lower Cretaceous stratigraphic units of Northern California1
- Upper Jurassic Fossil Localities in Franciscan and Knoxville Formations in Southern California1
Each of the 5 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.
