Todites indicus
No picture of Todites indicus 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 Todites indicus, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 58 million years on record.
The record covers at least 201.4 Mya to 143.1 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 237 Mya to 66 Mya.
30 occurrences of Todites indicus on record, most of them in the Late Jurassic. 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
30 occurrences- Late Triassic3%
- Early Jurassic3%
- Middle Jurassic2%
- Late Jurassic77%
- Early Cretaceous13%
- Late Cretaceous2%
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 28 sites for Todites indicus, 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 30 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 the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
