Annularia
Searched as Rotularia. The Paleobiology Database treats Annularia as the accepted name.
No picture of Annularia was found. iDigBio was searched and had none. Wikipedia and Wikidata have a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Annularia itself, so it was not used. 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 Annularia, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 285 million years on record.
The record covers at least 323.4 Mya to 37.71 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 358.86 Mya to 33.9 Mya.
591 occurrences of Annularia 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
591 occurrences- Carboniferous21%
- Permian46%
- Early Triassicunder 1%
- Early Jurassicunder 1%
- Middle Jurassicunder 1%
- Late Jurassicunder 1%
- Early Cretaceous7%
- Late Cretaceous16%
- Paleocene4%
- Eocene5%
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 246 sites for Annularia, and this reads 240 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 591 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. 149 further references are not listed. Entries link to doi.org where the Paleobiology Database holds an identifier, and to its own record where it does not. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.
