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

Time the record covers
At least 22 million years on record.
The record covers at least 192.9 Mya to 170.9 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 199.5 Mya to 165.3 Mya.
3 occurrences of Samaroblatta turanica on record, most of them in the Early Jurassic. 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
3 occurrencesThese 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 3 sites for Samaroblatta turanica, 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
3 references- Early Mesozoic fossil insects from South China1
- Insect Fossils from the Hanshan Formation at Hanshan County, Anhui Province1
- Liassic insects from Shurab and Kisyl-Kiya, Part II, Blattodea1
Each of the 3 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. Each entry links to the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
