Time the record covers
At most 3.1 million years on record.
Every occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 157.9 Mya and 154.8 Mya, and nothing in the dating separates them, so that window is what the record shows rather than a span.
3 occurrences of Glochiceras (Coryceras) modestiforme on record, most of them in the Late 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
3 occurrences- Late Jurassic100%
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 3 sites for Glochiceras (Coryceras) modestiforme, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too.
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.
