The name Cerion is based on the Greek word kerion, signifying honeycomb, and is given to these shells because the form of the shell resembles that of a beehive; hence they were at one time known as beehive shells.[3]
The fossil range of Cerion is possibly from the Upper Cretaceous of Montana, or the early Miocene of Florida.[1] Records of Cerion in Pleistocene are rare.[1]

gollark: Am I to read "we've been trying to keep things more PG than in the past" as a request to CEASE this conversement?
gollark: I mean, we really only just decided to enforce R4.
gollark: idea: speak x86 machine code.
gollark: No. Those in school must learn Lojban.
