Crassostrea kawauchidensis

No picture of Crassostrea kawauchidensis was found. Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. Wikipedia has a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Crassostrea kawauchidensis itself, so it was not used. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Crassostrea kawauchidensis, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At most 20 million years on record.

Every occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 113.2 Mya and 93.9 Mya, and nothing in the dating separates them, so that window is what the record shows rather than a span.

17 occurrences of Crassostrea kawauchidensis on record, most of them in the Late 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

17 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.
