We locate out to search for life deeper than some previous trip in Australian waters,said Ron Thresher from Australias Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).

Our example documented the deepest known Australian fauna, including a bizarre carnivorous sea spray, sea spiders and giant sponges, and before unknown marine communities conquered by gooseneck barnacles and millions of round, purple-spotted sea anemones.

Huge fields of deep-sea fossil corals were also discovered lower 1 mile and dated more than 10,000 years old.
