Incredible discovery: life forms survived in total darkness 180 million years ago

dating discovery Morocco

Researchers have uncovered, in the mountains of Morocco, biological traces dating back 180 million years buried in abyssal marine sediments. These structures, normally absent from such environments, call into question what we thought we knew about ecosystems...

Strange “elephant skin” rocks reveal ancient life in the dark ocean

discovery formation fossil Morocco

A puzzling wrinkled rock formation in Morocco has led scientists to rethink where ancient microbes could live. Instead of shallow, sunlit waters, these microbes may have thrived deep in the ocean, fueled by chemicals delivered by underwater landslides. The discovery suggests that dark, nutrient-rich environments hosted thriving ecosystems much earlier than expected. It also raises the possibility that many similar fossils have been overlooked or misinterpreted.

Scientists stunned to find signs of ancient life in a place no one expected

Morocco

While exploring ancient seabeds in Morocco, scientists discovered strange wrinkle-like textures in deep-water sediments that shouldn’t have been there. These structures are usually made by sunlight-loving microbial mats in shallow waters. But the rocks formed far below the reach of light, suggesting a different explanation. Evidence points to chemosynthetic microbes—organisms powered by chemical reactions—creating the mats in the dark depths of an ancient ocean.

Spinosaurus: Beast of the Week

Cretaceous Dinosauria Egypt Late Cretaceous Morocco +2

Make way (lots of room...back up more...keep going...keep going...backbackbackback) for the mighty Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus! Spinosaurus was a meat-eating dinosaur that lived in what is now Africa, including Egypt, Morocco, and Niger during the late Cretaceous Period, about 97-95 million years ago.  It was a massive animal, the biggest known individuals possibly measuring 49 feet (about 15m) long from snout to tail as an adult, making it the longest meat-eating dinosaur known to science.  The gen
