Linoproductus lineatus

Not Linoproductus lineatus. This is Linoproductus lineatus (Waagen, 1884), a relative — both are Productidae.

Time the record covers
At least 92 million years on record.
The record covers at least 346.7 Mya to 254.14 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 358.86 Mya to 251.1 Mya.
214 occurrences of Linoproductus lineatus on record, most of them in the Permian. 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
214 occurrences- Carboniferous3%
- Permian97%
- Early Triassicunder 1%
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 210 sites for Linoproductus lineatus, 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.
