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

Time the record covers
At least 118 million years on record.
The record covers at least 461.4 Mya to 342.9 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 464.3 Mya to 335.4 Mya.
22 occurrences of Orbiculoideinae on record, most of them in the Ordovician. 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
22 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 22 sites for Orbiculoideinae, 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
2 references- Middle Ordovician phosphatic inarticulate brachiopods from Västergötland and Dalarna, Sweden21
- A Mississippian invertebrate assemblage from the Monte Cristo Limestone near Stateline, Nevada1
Each of the 22 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. 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.
