Fishy Friday: Bathypterois sp., a tripod fish. Solitary and stationary, these deep-sea denizens perch above the seafloor using specialized fin rays and face into the current. When an unsuspecting copepod or other tiny crustacean drifts by, this animal is set to snack. #Doldrums, 2,040 meters

A sea urchin fr the genus Phormosoma, recorded at 2,011 m (or 5x around a running track if watching this little guy makes you feel the need for speed!) According to @echinoblog.bsky.social this urchin speed-walks along the sea bottom with spines that are modified with little "shoes." #Doldrums

During the Silurian Period, 430 million years ago, equatorial reef systems developed in the seas. The reefs were home to all kinds of invertebrates and among the most plentiful were brachiopods, bryozoans, and gastropods, seen in this specimen in our collection.

Riding High! During the #ArgentinianDeepSeeps expedition, ROV pilots captured footage of a tiny animal, likely a crustacean, riding a jellyfish like a surfboard. Jellyfish = protection w/their stinging tentacles & access to food while traveling & “shooting the curl” (as surfers would say).

It's #FossilFriday! ⚒️🧪 For your consideration: Prasopora, the gumdrop bryozoan, a common element of late Ordovician faunas in shallow, storm-influenced tropical carbonate platform sediments of the Appalachian Basin, from Kentucky to upstate NY.

Two fossils of bryozoans, colonial lophophorates. These colonies (zooaria) resemble gumdrops in size and shape, although reportedly not in flavor. The specimen on the left is a top view, showing a mound covered in tiny holes (zooecia) that would have housed individual functional clones (zooids). The specimen on the right shows a colony from beneath, with visible growth bands from overlapping laminae.
Label:
"Prasopora simulatrix
Ordovician"
