Did Marine Life In The Paleocene Navigate Using Earth's Magnetic Field? - Astrobiology

Some ancient marine organisms produced mysterious magnetic particles of unusually large size, which can now be found as fossils in marine sediments. An international team has succeeded in mapping the magnetic domains on one of such ‘giant magnetofossils’ using a sophisticated method at the Diamond X-ray source. Their analysis shows that these particles could have […] The post Did Marine Life In The Paleocene Navigate Using Earth’s Magnetic Field…Fossils Read Article
