Pinarella
No picture of Pinarella was found. Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. Wikipedia has a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Pinarella itself, so it was not used. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Pinarella, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 3.9 million years on record.
The record covers at least 516 Mya to 512.1 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 538.8 Mya to 506.5 Mya.
5 occurrences of Pinarella on record, most of them in the Cambrian. 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
5 occurrences- Cambrian100%
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 3 sites for Pinarella, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too.
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
2 references- Early Cambrian trilobites from the Shackleton Limestone of the Central Mountains4
- Early and Middle Cambrian Trilobites from Antarctica1
Each of the 5 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.
