Time the record covers

At most 2.1 million years on record.

The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 453.9 Mya and 451.8 Mya, which is a dating window rather than a span.

1 occurrence of Streptelasma (Streptelasma) orientalis on record, most of them in the Ordovician. 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.

No 3D scan of Streptelasma (Streptelasma) orientalis was found in MorphoSource and Sketchfab.

Smithsonian Open Access was not reached for this taxon, so this list is what the others held rather than everything there is.

This is what the site found, which is not the same as what exists.
