Dielasmatidae

Dielasma King, 1856, a relative of Dielasmatidae — not Dielasmatidae itself

Not Dielasmatidae. This is Dielasma King, 1856, a relative — both are Dielasmatidae.

Time the record covers

At least 182 million years on record.

The record covers at least 387.95 Mya to 205.7 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 393.47 Mya to 201.4 Mya.

1,780 occurrences of Dielasmatidae on record, most of them in the Permian. 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

1,780 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.

The Paleobiology Database records 1,320 sites for Dielasmatidae, and this reads 240 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.

Each of the 1,780 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. 340 further references are not listed. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not.
