Leptostrophiidae

Aphanomena Bergstrom, 1968, a relative of Leptostrophiidae — not Leptostrophiidae itself

Not Leptostrophiidae. This is Aphanomena Bergstrom, 1968, a relative — both are Leptostrophiidae.

Time the record covers

At least 85 million years on record.

The record covers at least 457.2 Mya to 372.15 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 458.2 Mya to 358.86 Mya.

1,560 occurrences of Leptostrophiidae on record, most of them in the Devonian. 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

1,560 occurrences

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 Leptostrophiidae has been recovered from, largest first. Drawn where the rock is now, not where it formed. 325 further formations hold fewer occurrences each and are not listed. 169 occurrences have no formation on record, which is common for older literature.

Leptostrophiidae and its relatives

Where Leptostrophiidae and its relatives were recorded in the Devonian.

Found in the same rock

1,275 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 1,198 sites for Leptostrophiidae, and this reads 240 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

291 references

Each of the 1,560 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. 279 further references are not listed. 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.
