Zittelina wahlenbergi
No picture of Zittelina wahlenbergi 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 Zittelina wahlenbergi, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 8 million years on record.
The record covers at least 145.06 Mya to 137.05 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 154.8 Mya to 66 Mya.
16 occurrences of Zittelina wahlenbergi on record, most of them in the Early Cretaceous. 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
16 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 7 sites for Zittelina wahlenbergi, 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.
