Tethocyathus prahli

No picture of Tethocyathus prahli 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 Tethocyathus prahli, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At most 1.9 million years on record.

The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 2.58 Mya and 774 ka, which is a dating window rather than a span.

1 occurrence of Tethocyathus prahli on record, most of them in the Pleistocene. 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.

When

1 occurrences

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.
