Description
Distribution
Fossils of this extinct marine species were found in Eocene strata in France.
gollark: That's as good as *my* analyses.
gollark: Due to centrifugal force, the air is thinner there near the ground, so he experiences the same things.
gollark: Now, firecubez lives in Egypt, which is near the equator.
gollark: Interesting fact: the term "high" (in the sense of impaired due to drugs and whatever) is actually derived from the way people experience oxygen deprivation and go slightly weird at high altitudes.
gollark: It doesn't actually exist.
