Dearc sgiathanach

No picture of Dearc sgiathanach 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 Dearc sgiathanach 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 Dearc sgiathanach, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

1 occurrence of Dearc sgiathanach on record, most of them in the Middle Jurassic. 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

1 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.
