Imbricatoceras subundulatum
No picture of Imbricatoceras subundulatum was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Imbricatoceras subundulatum, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 14 million years on record.
The record covers at least 453 Mya to 438.6 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 454 Mya to 432.9 Mya.
7 occurrences of Imbricatoceras subundulatum on record, most of them in the Ordovician. 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
7 occurrences- Ordovician57%
- Silurian43%
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 7 sites for Imbricatoceras subundulatum, 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.
Entered from
3 references- Silurian cephalopods from the Pentland Hills3
- The Cephalopod Fauna of the Killey Bridge Formation (Ordovician, Ashgill), Pomeroy, County Tyrone2
- The stratigraphy and brachiopods of the upper part of the type Caradoc of south Salop2
Each of the 7 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.
