During the Middle Jurassic, Bathonian and Callovian, the stretching of the crust between North and South America created a broad basin within the continental crust that opened initially to the Pacific Ocean and later to the Atlantic Ocean.
It lived in the Washington, D.C. area about 110 million years ago, when the area resembled modern southern Louisiana.
