The species is found in America.[1]
Although Encope emarginata can be found in America, fossil traces have been found in the southernmost part of Brazil's coast. The area that is inhibited by Encope emarginata is below the action of the normal wave regime, thus the fossils of this species is only truly disturbed during extreme coastal weather (Lopes, 2011).
