Distribution

This extinct marine species was found in Pliocene strata in the Koshiba Formation at Kanagawa, Japan.

gollark: Imagine having to do maintenence work on that...
gollark: Those are length units, not volume.
gollark: (I don't think that "how big is a molecule of it" is really a valid question, or at least one you can work out that way, but I am not very sure)
gollark: <@474726021652807680> If you used that molar mass they have, you would be calculating the mass of a mole of it, which isn't a molecule.
gollark: What mass are you using? You said you wanted to know how big a molecule was or something?
