Zelippistes

Zelippistes is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Capulidae, the cap snails. This genus was previously placed in the family Trichotropidae.

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

Time the record covers

At most 1.3 million years on record.

The one occurrence read is dated to somewhere between 1.63 Mya and 340 ka, which is a dating window rather than a span.

1 occurrence of Zelippistes on record, most of them in the Pleistocene. 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

1 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.

The Paleobiology Database records no fossil sites for Zelippistes, so there is nothing to compare it with.

Entered from

1 reference

Each of the 1 occurrence 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.
