Mysterious, jet black eggs so smooth and shiny they're like gross little marbles of. Here are four of the others that have shown up on the ocean surface: In their study, published in the journal biology letters, keiichi kakui and aoi tsuyuki, identified flatworm eggs found on the seafloor at a depth of more than 6,000 meters.
The abyssal depths of the ocean harbor slippery secrets. Researchers in japan were able to discover mysterious black jets in the depths of the ocean. Read a news item today with the misleading title “4 black eggs have surfaced from the dark heart of the ocean—with alien creatures inside”.
Black eggs shrouded in mystery were found by scientists thousands of feet in an abyss of the northwestern pacific ocean, with the researchers describing the cocoons as flatworm egg capsules.. That in itself is no mean feat, given how dark it is down there, but kano also managed to retrieve the eggs, at a depth of 6,200 metres (20,341 feet). The eggs are so shiny and smooth that they can be likened to tiny, gross marbles of darkness. This latest discovery of a clutch of strange black eggs situated at the bottom of a trench 3.7 miles beneath the northwest pacific is yet another example of how life can surprise us.
Now imagine finding jet black eggs deep in the pacific ocean while piloting a remote operating vehicle, or an rov, 6,000 metres deep, inside what is called the abyssal zone. Take what researchers in japan just dredged up: The world's largest invertebrate remained hidden from humanity until a tantalising glimpse 100 years ago. This feat is remarkable given the darkness of the environment.
