Have any fossils of abyssal animals been found?
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well I'm aware that many marine fossils come from animals that lived in not-very-deep seas. For instance, the Late Cretaceous European chalk was deposited in a sea that was around 300 meters deep. However, are there any fossils that are thought to be of organisms from very deep water? (e.g. from bathyal, abyssal and hadal zones, deeper than 2000 meters) Thanks for any info I'd find it cool to read about "abyssal fossils" if they exist! Christian- 4 replies

So, this is a different topic/coversation than I am not used to seeing here but I will give it a shot. My daughter, is looking at study options and researching schools for her Undergraduate. She is set on Marine Biology because she loves the marine life, the ocean and shark teeth. I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas on what a good focus would be in pursuit of her degree. Suggestions on schools would also be helpful. Like my daughter says, as long as she is in the ocean with the marine life and can occasionally find a fossil she is good to go.
