Wordle just taught me a new word; I guessed a descrambling into EPHYRA. 1st definition at duckduckgo:"One of the so-called Medusæ bifidæ; an attached or free-swimming lobate discoidal medusoid, resulting from transverse fission, by agamogenetic multiplication, in the scyphistoma stage, of the actinula of a discophorous hydrozoan."Wikipedia disambiguated an idiot's guide:"a stage of the life cycle of jellyfish."As I can't tell if that's the same or a different definition, I'll keep searching.

PS First auxiliary lesson: I'd nevera guessed jellyfish fossils could be a thing.

@wattdefalk Jellyfish fossils are rare and beautiful. An amazingly detailed slab of them was found somewhere in Texas and is in the museum in Austin. They are jaw-droppingly well preserved.

@Stang Thanks for that info! I'm tempted to ask how closely this relates to the large number of loose jawbone fossils found everywhere, but that would likely bore you, so I won't.
