There's so much mystery hidden in the depths of our worlds oceans. The discovery of what's unknown is an entity just waiting for us to reach. But sometimes our stretches for a tasteful enigma is far harder than we think.
Scientist Peter A. Rona has spent 33 years looking for a particular creature of the deep. He is an oceanographer at Rutgers University who has attempted numerous times to find a small organism that could be one of the oldest living fossils. He wrote a new research report about his findings with a team of colleagues. The scientist has pursued this creature many times, but his persistence stayed strong. The dark, intimidating depths of the creatures home was a place of interest for Rona as he searched. He has found that the creature, P. nodosum, lives in certain parts of the Atlantic bed. It has many tiny holes arranged in six-sided patterns and large ones forms of this creature have 200 to 300 holes. Scientists are questioning whether these patterns are burrows or body parts. This is a true challenge for Rona to solve. Only time will tell if he will be able to reach what his heart desires in discovering the unknown.
