Description
Nardorex zorzini is a superficially mackerel-like animal whose overall anatomy places it within the order Aulopiformes. However, the details of its osteology make its placement within Aulopiformes problematic.
Distribution
Specimens of N. zorzini are found in Campanian to Maastrichtian-aged marine strata of Nardo, Italy.

gollark: I could probably steal SQLite's approach to some extent; it tokenizes it into *words*, and I could just go X words left/right.
gollark: Characters would cut off oddly.
