Simurghia robusta

No picture of Simurghia robusta 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 Simurghia robusta 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 Simurghia robusta, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers

At most 6.2 million years on record.

The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 72.2 Mya and 66 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.

1 occurrence of Simurghia robusta on record, most of them in the Late 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

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.

5 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 1 site for Simurghia robusta, 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

1 reference

Each of the 1 occurrence 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.
