Description
Distribution
Fossils of this marine species were found in Oligocene strata in Aquitaine, France.
gollark: It probably won't kill everyone ever in 100 years if technology does keep advancing, which it... hopefully... will?
gollark: The IPCC's *worst case* scenario still has everything continuing to improve, just less.
gollark: Climate change wiping out civilization within 30 years is not, as far as I know, seriously predicted.
gollark: I only acknowledge humour when it is economically beneficial.
gollark: I'm not aware of any particularly *inevitable* doomsdays within 30 years.
