Description

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): at top of (100% up, 0Ma, in "Holocene" stage). Data source: Total of ranges of the species in this database
First occurrence (base): within (-Ma, base in "Holocene" stage). Data source: Total of ranges of species in this database

Plot of occurrence data:
NB The ranges given for genera and higher taxa are the total ranges of species included in that taxon in this database - so the true total range of the taxon will usually be longer
