These organisms formed wrinkle-like structures in deep-water sediments. The discovery suggests chemosynthetic microbial ecosystems were more widespread in dark, deep oceans than previously believed.What's confirmed:Researchers found 180-million-year-old fossilized microbes in Morocco.The microbial structures formed in deep-water sediments at least 590 ft underwater.The fossils exhibit wrinkle-like textures typically associated with sunlight-loving microbial mats in shallow waters.Evidence indicates chemosynthetic micro
