Chrysolepis

Searched as Chrysolepis sonomensis. The Paleobiology Database treats Chrysolepis as the accepted name.

No picture of Chrysolepis was found. iDigBio was searched and had none. Wikidata has a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Chrysolepis itself, so it was not used. 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 Chrysolepis, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

6 occurrences of Chrysolepis on record, most of them in the Miocene. 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

6 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.

5 references

Each of the 6 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 the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
