Schematochiton arthurcooperi
No picture of Schematochiton arthurcooperi 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 Schematochiton arthurcooperi, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 26 million years on record.
The record covers at least 293.52 Mya to 266.9 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 298.9 Mya to 264.28 Mya.
32 occurrences of Schematochiton arthurcooperi on record, most of them in the Permian. 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
32 occurrences- Permian100%
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.
