Pachyphyllia nannodes
No picture of Pachyphyllia nannodes 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 Pachyphyllia nannodes, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At most 4.4 million years on record.
The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 125.77 Mya and 121.4 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.
1 occurrence of Pachyphyllia nannodes on record, most of them in the Early Cretaceous. 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 occurrences- Early Cretaceous100%
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 no fossil sites for Pachyphyllia nannodes, so there is nothing to compare it with.
