No picture of Micheliniidae was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio 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 Micheliniidae, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

At least 172 million years on record.

The record covers at least 426.7 Mya to 254.14 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 449.5 Mya to 251.902 Mya.

507 occurrences of Micheliniidae 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

507 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.

2,106 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 403 sites for Micheliniidae, and this reads 240 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

172 references

Each of the 507 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. 160 further references are not listed. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
