Anatolepis heintzi
No picture of Anatolepis heintzi 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 Anatolepis heintzi, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 29 million years on record.
The record covers at least 486.85 Mya to 457.3 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 497 Mya to 449.6 Mya.
5 occurrences of Anatolepis heintzi 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
5 occurrences- Cambrian20%
- Ordovician80%
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.

4 formations
- Valhallfonna Formation2

The Paleobiology Database records 5 sites for Anatolepis heintzi, 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- Probable Microvertebrates, Vertebrate-like Fossils, and Weird Things from the Wisconsin Ordovician2
- An early Ordovician vertebrate2
- A Fish from the Upper Cambrian of North America1
Each of the 5 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 doi.org. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
