Juresania's members were epifaunal, meaning they lived on top of the seafloor, not buried within it, and were suspension feeders.[1][3]
Distribution
Juresania specimens can be found in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with most Juresania specimens having been found in the northern hemisphere.[1][4][5]

gollark: Netflix was looking at using it for movie posters in their applications.
gollark: There are plenty of applications where you can get away with "looks pretty much okay", too.
gollark: Well, you can ask people to not put irrelevant random images in, but they'll probably do it for some stupid reason, and it's good if they can at least be mildly more efficient about it.
gollark: There's JPEG-XL or something, which will apparently allow *lossless* higher-efficiency representation of existing JPEGs. Very exciting.
gollark: Consider all those annoying mostly irrelevant images in articles. Those don't really need to actually be very high quality, and if you can lossily compress them to 20KB or so you can really shave off loading times.
