Notes: Dornburg et al. (2011) identified 10 consistent fossils (nodes 1–10) and four inconsistent fossils (nodes 11–14); their results for estimates under exponential calibration priors are reproduced here (their estimates resulting from lognormal priors were not included). The minimum age estimates of the fossil taxa are expressed in units of millions of years. Mean age estimates are shown for two separate analyses (in units of millions of years) and the 95% CIs are presented in parentheses.
