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

Time the record covers
At least 200 million years on record.
The record covers at least 1400 Mya to 1200 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 1600 Mya to 1000 Mya.
2 occurrences of Archaeoellipsoides obesus 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
2 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 2 sites for Archaeoellipsoides obesus, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.
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
2 references- Shelf-facies microfossils from the Uluksan Group (Proterozoic Bylot Supergroup), Baffin Island, Canada1
- Stromatolitic microbiota from the Middle Proterozoic Wumishan Formation (Jixian Group) of the Ming Tombs, Beijing, China1
Each of the 2 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.
