Its type locality is soft shales at banks of Genesee river, foot of upper Portage Falls, which is in a Famennian marine shale in the Gowanda Shale Formation of New York. It is the type species of Vetupraeca, Deltacardium.
It was recombined as Praecardium vetustum by Hall (1885), Clarke (1904); it was recombined as Deltacardium vetustum by Nagel (2006); it was recombined as Vetupraeca vetusta by Nagel-Myers et al. (2008).
