Yanjiahella biscarpa

No picture of Yanjiahella biscarpa was found. Wikidata was searched and had none. Wikipedia has a picture filed under this name, but nothing tied it to Yanjiahella biscarpa itself, so it was not used. iDigBio and GBIF were not searched: the Paleobiology Database does not place Yanjiahella biscarpa firmly enough to tell it from something else bearing the same name, and a search on the name alone returns whichever of them was photographed. Smithsonian Open Access did not answer, so this is what the others held rather than everything there is.

Time the record covers

At most 9.8 million years on record.

Every occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 538.8 Mya and 529 Mya, and nothing in the dating separates them, so that window is what the record shows rather than a span.

3 occurrences of Yanjiahella biscarpa on record, most of them in the Cambrian. 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

3 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.
