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

Time the record covers
At most 8.4 million years on record.
Every occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 495.2 Mya and 486.85 Mya, and nothing in the dating separates them, so that window is what the record shows rather than a span.
5 occurrences of Lophosaukia jiangnanensis on record, most of them in the Cambrian. 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- Cambrian100%
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 Cambrian trilobites of western Zhejiang2
- Upper Cambrian biostratigraphy and trilobite faunas of the Cili-Taoyuan area, northwestern Hunan, China1
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 the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
