[New Paper] We named a new species of vesicomyid clam, Waisiuconcha takashii, from deep-sea cold seeps in Nankai Trough, Japan and Mariana Forearc! This species is named after the late Japanese malacologist Takashi Okutani (1931-2025).

[New Preprint] 3 days ago, we had a dive at Quaker Seamount -- and today we report the first results! We discovered a serpentinite-hosted seep ecosystem there + the first visible discharge of geofluids.

SWEET! GFOE has posted a highlight video of those LIVING snails on stalked crinoids! Analogous to platyceratid snails on Paleozoic crinoids! This was described by @squamiferum.bsky.social a year or so ago! #fossilFriday youtu.be/Gsb3ovXDpLM?...
