Venericardia (Glyptoactis) hadra

Venericardia hadra Dall, 1903, a relative of Venericardia (Glyptoactis) hadra — not Venericardia (Glyptoactis) hadra itself

Not Venericardia (Glyptoactis) hadra. This is Venericardia hadra Dall, 1903, a relative — both are Carditidae.

Time the record covers

At most 4.5 million years on record.

Every occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 20.45 Mya and 15.98 Mya, and nothing in the dating separates them, so that window is what the record shows rather than a span.

12 occurrences of Venericardia (Glyptoactis) hadra on record, most of them in the Miocene. 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

12 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.

335 taxa

The Paleobiology Database records 12 sites for Venericardia (Glyptoactis) hadra, 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

1 reference

Each of the 12 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 doi.org. Relayed as the Paleobiology Database holds them, not checked against what they resolve to.

No 3D scan of Venericardia (Glyptoactis) hadra 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.
