Nearly half a century ago, in 1976, American oceanographer Peter Rona made a life-changing discovery. He was in his office in Florida, studying the photographs that a few weeks earlier had been taken by a camera mounted on a sled that was traversing the bottom of the Atlantic, more than two miles deep, towed by a US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ship. . In some of those photos, up to a hundred of them, there were some strange alignments of holes that at first glance made him think that they were playing a joke on him. That looked like a hexagonal beehive, at the bottom of the ocean! But no, the image was real. Although they have been identified as fossilized traces of Paleodictyon nodosum, the reality is that the creature that created them remains an enigma.
