The Challenger specimens came from the Atlantic, and were 

 captured between 25-30 N. latitude and 18-20 W. longitude, at 

 a depth of 2,055 to 2,789 meters (1,124 to 1,525 fathoms). The 

 Travailleur and Talisman expeditions found O. chelys in 39 N. 

 latitude and 12 W. longitude, in 3,307 meters (1,814 fathoms). The 

 Siboga met with 0. chelys in the Sunda Archipelago between 2 N. 

 latitude and 4 S. latitude and 125-127 E. longitude, at depths 

 varying from 1,165 to 2,081 meters (637 to 1,141 fathoms). The 

 species therefore appears to have a rather extensive geographical 

 range and always to occur in deep water.
