Le spécimen en question a été trouvé à environ 60 km de la ligne de côte contemporaine et, à l'état vivant, habitait apparemment un milieu prodeltaïque boueux peu profond caractérisé par une forte turbidité et une salinité variable. Le poisson est peut-être mort des suites de l'influx d'eaux de crue saumâtres qui transportaient également de la boue en suspension qui aurait rapidement enseveli le corps, prévenant ainsi la désarticulation du squelette. 2, record 1, French, - boue%20prodelta%C3%AFque
