Description
Distribution
Fossils of this extinct marine species were found in Eocene strata in France.
gollark: There's background radiation anyway; differences in that can provide some entropy.
gollark: Radio noise, radioactive decay, lava lamps, etc.

gollark: Just preplan all your genders and invert SHA256, silly.
