Brachyphyllum crassicaule
No picture of Brachyphyllum crassicaule 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 Brachyphyllum crassicaule, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

- "photoautotroph"PBDB, for Streptophyta
Time the record covers
At least 9.6 million years on record.
The record covers at least 110.1 Mya to 100.5 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 113.2 Mya to 93.9 Mya.
3 occurrences of Brachyphyllum crassicaule 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
3 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 3 sites for Brachyphyllum crassicaule, 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
3 references- The Megaflora from the Quantico Locality (Upper Albian), Lower Cretaceous Potomac Group of Virginia1
- Cretaceous and Early Tertiary Floras of the Intermountain Area1
- Lower Cretaceous Floras of Western Canada1
Each of the 3 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. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
