Yukonella
No picture of Yukonella was found. Wikidata and iDigBio were searched and had none. Wikipedia and 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 Yukonella, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 56 million years on record.
The record covers at least 283.3 Mya to 227.3 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 290.1 Mya to 205.7 Mya.
3 occurrences of Yukonella on record, most of them in the Late Triassic. 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- Permian33%
- Late Triassic67%
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 2 sites for Yukonella, 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
2 references- Upper Triassic sponges (Sphinctozoa) from southern Yukon, Stikinia terrane2
- Lower Permian brachiopods and molluscs from the upper Jungle Creek Formation, northern Yukon Territory, Canada1
Each of the 3 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.
