Retimonocolpites retifossulatus
No picture of Retimonocolpites retifossulatus was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Retimonocolpites retifossulatus, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

- "photoautotroph"PBDB, for Angiospermae
Time the record covers
At least 35 million years on record.
The record covers at least 83.6 Mya to 48.07 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 93.9 Mya to 41.03 Mya.
24 occurrences of Retimonocolpites retifossulatus on record, most of them in the Eocene. 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
24 occurrences- Late Cretaceous13%
- Paleocene8%
- Eocene79%
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 Retimonocolpites retifossulatus, 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.

Each of the 24 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.
