Researchers have described a roughly 5.3-million-year-old whale necropolis on the deep seafloor of the Diamantina Zone, published in Nature. The site preserves fossil whale remains that supported deep-sea ecosystems over geological time. Scientists say such finds shed light on how whale falls sustain specialized marine life and on ancient ocean conditions in the region.
Why now: A striking new Nature discovery about an ancient deep-sea whale fossil site is drawing wide scientific and public interest.
