Monosaccites
No picture of Monosaccites was found. Wikidata was searched and had none. iDigBio and GBIF were not searched: the Paleobiology Database does not place Monosaccites 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. Wikipedia and Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is.

Recorded, not inferred- Sits inside
- PlantaePBDB
Time the record covers
At least 231 million years on record.
The record covers at least 254.14 Mya to 23.04 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 298.9 Mya to 5.333 Mya.
7 occurrences of Monosaccites 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
7 occurrences- Permian57%
- Early Cretaceous9%
- Late Cretaceous5%
- Eocene14%
- Miocene14%
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 4 sites for Monosaccites, 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.
