🐚Most likely an Acteonella fossil, estimated to be around 70 million years old. This region was once covered by sea, and one of the nearby mountains was a massive coral reef in ancient times—traces of a long-lost ocean world, now hidden in stone.

Shot with my #nikon d500. More to follow :)

Vancouver record shop owner discovers rare Beatles audition recording
Rob Frith had expected that the old tape labelled 'Beatles 60s demos' was a bootleg tape with poor sound quality. But when he and a friend played the tape late one night, they heard something special.

During the roughly month-long expedition, the researchers piloted a remotely operated vehicle to capture photos & video & collect specimens from some of the deepest reaches off #Antarctica. The team also explored areas of the remote BellingshausenSea farther from the ice sheet. Among the species potentially new to #science are crustaceans, sea snails, worms & fish.
It will take months of lab analysis to confirm the discovery of any #NewSpecies.

A giant phantom jelly is documented in the Bellingshausen Sea off Antarctica, at an area where the shelf break and slope are cut by several underwater gullies. This jellyfish can grow to a massive size: the bell to be more than one meter (3.3 feet) across with four ribbon-like oral arms that can grow more than 10 meters (33 feet) in length.

Brittle stars climb on a sponge, documented at a depth of 215 meters. This area, at the southeastern end of the Ronne Entrance off the Bellingshausen Sea, lost its ice shelf cover a few years ago. (ROV SuBastian/Schmidt Ocean Institute)
An octopus rests on the seafloor 1150 meters deep, in the Bellingshausen Sea off Antarctica, at an area where the shelf break and slope are cut by several underwater gullies. (ROV SuBastian/Schmidt Ocean Institute)
