Leiorhynchus (Leiorhynchus)
No picture of Leiorhynchus (Leiorhynchus) was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Leiorhynchus (Leiorhynchus), or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 39 million years on record.
The record covers at least 382.31 Mya to 342.9 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 393.47 Mya to 335.4 Mya.
6 occurrences of Leiorhynchus (Leiorhynchus) on record, most of them in the Devonian. 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
6 occurrences- Devonian67%
- Carboniferous33%
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 Paleobiology Database records 2 sites for Leiorhynchus (Leiorhynchus), and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too.
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
2 references- Lower and Middle Devonian Brachiopod-Dominated Communities of Nevada, and Their Position in a Biofacies-Province-Realm Model4
- New Mississippian Formations and Faunal Zones in Chesterfield Range, Portneuf Quadrangle Southeast Idaho2
Each of the 6 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.
