Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Ancyrochitininae): processes
This taxon: conical body and a crown of anastomosed processes covered with a membrane erected from the margin.

They are being edited as the site is developed and comments on them are especially welcome.

Description

Biogeography and Palaeobiology

Biostratigraphic distribution

Geological Range:
Last occurrence (top): at top of Hirnantian Stage (100% up, 443.1Ma, in Hirnantian stage). Data source: Total of ranges of the species in this database
First occurrence (base): within Hirnantian Stage (443.07-445.21Ma, base in Hirnantian 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
