Description
Herentalia is distinguished from other cetotheriids in being larger and more robust, and in having ascending processes of the maxilla with rounded posterior ends. The species name nigra means "black" and refers to the color of the fossilized bone of the holotype.[1]

gollark: `nc -l 5000` or something on one device, `nc [its IP] 5000` on the other I think?
gollark: Or ADB.
gollark: I would probably use netcat.
gollark: Oh, very, but only in a chroot-type thing, not baremetal.
