Coordinates not specified in specimen label. Field given as "Biocyarise" but the Biocyarise cruise used the submersible Cyana rather than Nautile; perhaps this field site was named after the cruise: http://campagnes.flotteoceanographique.fr/campagnes/84007211/fr/ Approximate coordinates inferred by C. Seid on 2018-06-29 based on literature. From Fustec et al. 1987: "Pogomort 1 (unknown coordinates but very close to Parigo [12°48, 56 N and 103°56, 71'W]" and "Pogomort 2 (12°48, 60'N and 103°56, 72'W)" and "The naming of these two sites derives from the observation that the vestimentiferans were apparently all dead." From Waren and Bouchet, 1993: "Pogomort 1: 12°48.45'N, 103°56.66'W, 2630 m" and "Pogomort 2: 12°48.60'N, 103°56.72'W, 2630 m."
