Archaeoellipsoides major

No picture of Archaeoellipsoides major 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 Archaeoellipsoides major, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At most 400 million years on record.

Every occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 1600 Mya and 1200 Mya, and nothing in the dating separates them, so that window is what the record shows rather than a span.

1608–1594 Mya — about 0.3 occurrences1594–1580 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1580–1566 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1566–1553 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1553–1539 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1539–1525 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1525–1511 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1511–1497 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1497–1483 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1483–1469 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1469–1455 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1455–1442 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1442–1428 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1428–1414 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1414–1400 Mya — about 0.7 occurrences1400–1386 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1386–1372 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1372–1358 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1358–1345 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1345–1331 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1331–1317 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1317–1303 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1303–1289 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1289–1275 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1275–1261 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1261–1247 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1247–1234 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1234–1220 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1220–1206 Mya — about 0.1 occurrences1206–1192 Mya — about 0.0 occurrences1608 Mya1192 Mya

11 occurrences of Archaeoellipsoides major on record. 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

11 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.

12 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 11 sites for Archaeoellipsoides major, 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

1 reference

Each of the 11 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.
