Venericardia (Cyclocardia) ferruginea
No picture of Venericardia (Cyclocardia) ferruginea 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 Venericardia (Cyclocardia) ferruginea, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 1.8 million years on record.
The record covers at least 2.58 Mya to 774 ka. No occurrence read is dated outside 3.6 Mya to 129 ka.
4 occurrences of Venericardia (Cyclocardia) ferruginea on record. The Paleobiology Database records this as a living group, and the chart stops with its fossils rather than at the present. 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
4 occurrences- Pliocene50%
- Pleistocene50%
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 4 sites for Venericardia (Cyclocardia) ferruginea, 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.
Entered from
4 references- Warm-water influx into Japan Sea in the middle Pliocene - Molluscan faunas from the Tentokuji FOrmation around Mt. Taihei in Akita Prefecture1
- Pectinids from the Taga Group of the Joban Coalfield1
- Early Pleistocene fossil Mollusca from the sea of Japan off Yamaguchi Prefecture1
- The Cenozoic Brachiopoda of Japan1
Each of the 4 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.
