Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): in lower part of Callovian Stage (20% up, 165.6Ma, in Callovian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database
First occurrence (base): in upper part of Bajocian Stage (82% up, 168.6Ma, in Bajocian stage). Data source: Total of range of species in this database

Plot of occurrence data:

Range-bar - range as quoted above, pink interval top occurs in, green interval base occurs in.
Triangles indicate an event for which a precise placement has been suggested
Neptune data: This is a higher taxon page so Neptune data is not plotted. See also: customisable plot Parent: Rarer genera
