The profiled Aglaophyton major material is from the Rhynie Chert of Aberdeenshire, Scotland; this named deposit does not establish the genus's complete geographic distribution or centre of origin.

Open repository version records an ID-TIMS U–Pb zircon age of 411.5 ± 1.3 Ma from andesite in the Rhynie Outlier; the atlas uses the uncertainty interval only as a locality-age bound.
Claim ledger
The displayed 412.8–410.2 Ma interval is the 411.5 ± 1.3 Ma U–Pb uncertainty window used for the represented Rhynie-chert material; it is not a global Aglaophyton first appearance, last appearance or lineage duration.
claim:taxon:aglaophyton:fossil-rangeThe profiled Horneophyton lignieri slides contain Rhynie-chert material from Aberdeenshire, Scotland; this museum sample does not establish a complete geographic distribution or origin centre.
claim:taxon:horneophyton:biogeographyThe displayed 412.8–410.2 Ma interval is the 411.5 ± 1.3 Ma U–Pb uncertainty window used for the represented Rhynie-chert Horneophyton material; it is not a global first appearance, last appearance or lineage duration.
