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

Time the record covers
At least 55 million years on record.
The record covers at least 379 Mya to 323.4 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 382.31 Mya to 298.9 Mya.
11 occurrences of Lepidosigillaria 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
11 occurrences- Devonian55%
- Carboniferous45%
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 11 sites for Lepidosigillaria, 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
3 references- A Catalogue of Fossil Plants from India Part 2: Palaeozoic and Mesozoic Megafossils5
- Lycopods of the Devonian of New York State5
- SUNY-Binghamton Paleobiology Collection1
Each of the 11 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 the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
