Polinices conicus
No picture of Polinices conicus 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 Polinices conicus, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 762 thousand years on record.
The record covers at least 774 ka to 11.7 ka. No occurrence read is dated outside 2.58 Mya to 0 Mya.
4 occurrences of Polinices conicus on record, most of them in the Pleistocene. 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
4 occurrences- Pleistocene75%
- Holocene25%
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.
Found in
3 formations
- Tamala Limestone Formation1

The Paleobiology Database records 4 sites for Polinices conicus, 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.
Entered from
4 references- New Pleistocene and Holocene stratigraphic units in the Yalgorup Plain area, southern Swan Costal Plain1
- Molluscan faunas of the Early Pleistocene Point Allen Formation and Burnham limestone, South Australia1
- Middle Holocene marine molluscs near Guildford, Western Australia, and evidence for climate change1
- The fossil Mollusca of the Peppermint Grove Limestone, Swan River district or Western Australia1
Each of the 4 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 the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
