Distinguishing features:
Parent taxon (Pellichitininae): sleeve
This taxon: ovoid chamber enveloped by a membranous sleeve.

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 Floian Stage (100% up, 471.3Ma, in Floian stage). Data source: Total of ranges of the species in this database
First occurrence (base): within Floian Stage (471.26-477.08Ma, base in Floian 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
