Orthothecida

No picture of Orthothecida was found. Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. Wikipedia 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 Orthothecida, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At least 148 million years on record.

The record covers at least 538.8 Mya to 390.5 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 635 Mya to 385.9 Mya.

1,069 occurrences of Orthothecida 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

1,069 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.

1,688 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 520 sites for Orthothecida, 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

154 references

Each of the 1,069 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. 142 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.

No 3D scan was found. Smithsonian Open Access, MorphoSource and Sketchfab were all searched.
