Dentilucina orbicularis

Dentilucina P.Fischer, 1887, a relative of Dentilucina orbicularis — not Dentilucina orbicularis itself

Not Dentilucina orbicularis. This is Dentilucina P.Fischer, 1887, a relative — both are Lucinidae.

5 occurrences of Dentilucina orbicularis on record, most of them in the Miocene. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group. 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

5 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.

Found in the same rock

The Paleobiology Database records no fossil sites for Dentilucina orbicularis, so there is nothing to compare it with.

Entered from

2 references

Each of the 5 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.

No 3D scan of Dentilucina orbicularis was found in MorphoSource and Sketchfab.

Smithsonian Open Access was not reached for this taxon, so this list is what the others held rather than everything there is.

This is what the site found, which is not the same as what exists.
