Pholadomyida
No picture of Pholadomyida was found. Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Wikipedia has a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Pholadomyida itself, so it was not used. 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 Pholadomyida, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 473 million years on record.
The record covers at least 477.1 Mya to 3.6 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 486.4 Mya to 2.58 Mya.
3,515 occurrences of Pholadomyida on record, most of them in the Early Jurassic. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group, and the chart stops with its fossils rather than at the present. 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.

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 at least 1,468 sites for Pholadomyida, 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.

Each of the 3,515 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. 731 further references are not listed. Each entry links to the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
