Oh sorry. I was a little confused by what you meant by fossil record. If you mean when it existed its from Cretaceous-Present (what I have, Smithsonian, and Audubon say) although some sources say Eocene to Recent

This mode of preservation is equivalent to what in Mineralogy?
With this type of mode of preservation can you see the fossils without something (nature, humans) altering it?
Why is this genus shaped the way it is
Time Range
Describe the hinge line
Where do/did these organisms live?
