Harpagopus dubius
No picture of Harpagopus dubius was found. Wikipedia and Wikidata were searched and had none. iDigBio and GBIF were not searched: the Paleobiology Database does not place Harpagopus dubius firmly enough to tell it from something else bearing the same name, and a search on the name alone returns whichever of them was photographed. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is.
Time the record covers
At least 4.3 million years on record.
The record covers at least 205.7 Mya to 201.4 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 227.3 Mya to 192.9 Mya.
2 occurrences of Harpagopus dubius on record, most of them in the Late Triassic. 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
2 occurrencesThese 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 2 sites for Harpagopus dubius, 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.
Entered from
2 references- Fossil foot-prints from the Jura (?)-Trias of New Jersey1
- Appendix [B]. Descriptive catalogue of the specimens in the Hitchcock Ichnological Cabinet of Amherst College1
Each of the 2 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. Each entry links to the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
