We have been getting quite a few samples on #Abyss2020 shall we start #AbyssalAnimalOfTheDay @helena_wiklund? And it’s #WormWednesday so here is a cheeky #CatWorm, Nephtyidae just collected this AM watch by Erik Simon Lledó &me

Pulled this one up just last night. Appears to be an encrusted bone of some sort. Looks like a whale to me. #abyss2020

A deep sea Reese's Peanut Butter Cup! #abyss2020

A nodule formed around a shark tooth! No idea what kind of shark though. Very cool!

Brought up some cool bones. Probably ear bones of some kind of cetacean! #abyss2020

Beautiful sunset at sea

Listening to robbie (normal) is super chill!

Why is the abyssal plain so species rich? Why? WHY? Why is there no wine at sea? Why no wine? Why? #Abyss2020

Our #AbyssalAnimalOfTheDay is this cute juvenile of sea urchin with massive tridentate pedicellariae...maybe Aceste ovata? #Abyss2020 #NHMDeepSea Adrian Glover Erik Simon Lledó @helena_wiklund

Yet another stunning sunset at sea #abyss2020

This igneous rock that was pulled up with our sample has some quite large crystals growing from it. Held by my colleague @SeafloorSarah. #abyss2020

One of the most sensational and elusive creatures of the abyss found today on #Abyss2020 Half a billion years of evolution staring right back at you: a ‘living fossil’ monoplacophoran. In 3 expeditions we have found just 3 individuals #AbyssalAnimalOfTheDay

Look at those busy prepositions. Cheers to who gets that.

I have no idea what kind of shark this belonged to. But it is cool! It seems to indicate a piscivore with its long non serrated shape but I'm not knowledgable on the topic. #abyss2020

Animals and Signatures are on my #shrunkencupoff from #abyss2020

Last sunset with the RC01 team and it's truly gorgeous! #abyss2020
