Bembexia
† Bembexia is a genus of fossil sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks. This genus is placed in the subfamily Eotomariinae, of the family Eotomariidae. The shell characters resemble those of Balbinipleura. These snails have been interpreted as herbivorous, probably grazing on algae.

gollark: C++ and Rust also call them vectors.
gollark: The OS they ship on them is a bit bad, so I used a somewhat accursed bootstrapping process to install Alpine on them.
gollark: I didn't try any of the more managed services.
gollark: Well, it works fine for me with just a compute instance thing and horrendously annoying but free network configuration.
gollark: I think the billing on those is such that you can pay for a bit of extra capacity without paying the full cost for the entire thing.
