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

Time the record covers
At least 300 thousand years on record.
The record covers at least 445.5 Mya to 445.2 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 458.2 Mya to 443.1 Mya.
11 occurrences of Salvadorea selecta 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
11 occurrences- Ordovician100%
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.
Found in
5 formations
- Stony Mountain Formation4
- Vaureal Formation2
- Ellis Bay Formation2
- Bighorn Formation1
- White Head Formation1

The Paleobiology Database records 11 sites for Salvadorea selecta, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too.
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- Late Ordovician solitary rugose corals of the Stony Mountain Formation, southern Manitoba, and its equivalents7
- Microborings and growth in Late Ordovician halysitids and other corals4
Each of the 11 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.
