Eostriatolamia
Searched as Eostriatolamia holmdelensis. The Paleobiology Database treats Eostriatolamia as the accepted name.
Eostriatolamia is an extinct genus of sharks in the family Odontaspididae. It was described by Gluckman in 1980. A new species, E. paucicorrugata, was described from the Cenomanian of Canada by Charlie J. Underwood and Stephen L. Cumbaa in 2010.
No picture of Eostriatolamia was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. 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 Eostriatolamia, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At most 12 million years on record.
The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 83.6 Mya and 72.2 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.
1 occurrence of Eostriatolamia 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
1 occurrences- Late Cretaceous100%
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 80 sites for Eostriatolamia, and this reads all 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.
