Pholadomyoidea
No picture of Pholadomyoidea was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access 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 Pholadomyoidea, 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.
2,665 occurrences of Pholadomyoidea 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 named rock units Pholadomyoidea has been recovered from, largest first. Drawn where the rock is now, not where it formed. 481 further formations hold fewer occurrences each and are not listed. 835 occurrences have no formation on record, which is common for older literature.

The Paleobiology Database records at least 1,447 sites for Pholadomyoidea, and this reads 240 of them. Of that, one read hit the database's own return limit, so every count below is a floor rather than a total. 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 2,665 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. 505 further references are not listed. Each entry links to the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
