Stelidioseris bellensis
No picture of Stelidioseris bellensis was found. Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Wikipedia and 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 Stelidioseris bellensis, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 9.4 million years on record.
The record covers at least 119.57 Mya to 110.1 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 137.05 Mya to 106.3 Mya.
2 occurrences of Stelidioseris bellensis on record, most of them in the Early 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
2 occurrences- Early Cretaceous100%
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 the same rock
The Paleobiology Database records no fossil sites for Stelidioseris bellensis, so there is nothing to compare it with.
Entered from
2 references- Early Cretaceous (Late Valanginian-Aptian) coral faunas from East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya) and revision of the Dietrich collection (Berlin, Germany)1
- Corals of the Cretaceous of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plains and Western Interior of the United States1
Each of the 2 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. 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.
