Description
Distribution
Fossils of this marine species were found in Oligocene strata in Belgium.
gollark: I agree. There is no way to even begin to comprehend it without 4 years of material science degree-level study.
gollark: I see. Well, cupronickel you, you utter constantan.
gollark: Yet brass/bronze confusion?
gollark: You are bad at remembering alloys, according to apioform #5125.
gollark: Bronze. Not brass. Brass is zinc/copper alloy.
