Paradoxophidion richardowenin n. gen. n. sp.
No picture of Paradoxophidion richardowenin n. gen. n. sp. was found. Wikipedia and Wikidata were searched and had none. iDigBio and GBIF were not searched: the Paleobiology Database did not answer, so there was nothing to tell Paradoxophidion richardowenin n. gen. n. sp. from something else bearing the same name. That is a fact about this lookup, not about what the database holds. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is.
Time the record covers
At most 3.9 million years on record.
The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 37.71 Mya and 33.9 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.
1 occurrence of Paradoxophidion richardowenin n. gen. n. sp. on record, most of them in the Eocene. 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 occurrences- Eocene100%
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 1 site for Paradoxophidion richardowenin n. gen. n. sp., 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.
