Time the record covers
At least 2.1 million years on record.
The record covers at least 445.2 Mya to 443.1 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 452.8 Mya to 419.62 Mya.
3 occurrences of Inconobotopora on record. 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- Ordovician33%
- Silurian67%
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 named rock units Inconobotopora has been recovered from, largest first. Drawn where the rock is now, not where it formed. 2 occurrences have no formation on record, which is common for older literature.
Found in the same rock
No other named taxon is catalogued from that site.
The Paleobiology Database records 1 site for Inconobotopora, and this reads all of them.
Entered from
2 references- Inconobotopora lichenoporoides, a new genus and species of cystoporate bryozoan from the Silurian of Gotland, and its evolutionary implications2
- Inconobotopora (Cystoporata, Bryozoa) from the early Katian (Late Ordovician) Kullsberg Limestone of the Siljan district, Dalarna, central Sweden1
Each of the 3 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 doi.org. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.

No 3D scan of Inconobotopora was found in MorphoSource and Sketchfab.
Smithsonian Open Access was not reached for this taxon, so this list is what the others held rather than everything there is.
This is what the site found, which is not the same as what exists.
