straightforward as you might think in the wild a mollusk will form a pearl when something that irritates it enters its soft tissue it wants to protect itself so it will cover it with mother-of-pearl a material it also uses to form its shell in many cases the mollusk will try and eject the pearl because it doesn't want it in its body sometimes it's successful and sometimes it's not it won't form a pearl or disease will kill it off so getting a pearl from every mollusk could be it in the wild or in captivity where technicians will intentionally plant irritants does not have a 100 percent success

charity walk for autism with the team Golf Association as he walked he looked down at the sand and discovered a half-buried $100 bill at first Billy thought it was a prank as videos have shown before there could have been a fishing line attached to it and someone would pull it away who anyone to grab it but when he picked it up he realized that wasn't the case and there wasn't just $100 there was $1,500 he held it up to his face and looked around to see if anyone had dropped it or would claim it a lady said to him what the heck just happened how did I not see that Billy was sure many people would likely keep that sum money if they found it but he never thought about it all Billy knew was that if he were in that situation where he lost $1,500 he'd want someone to hand it in and give him a chance to get it back so instead of thinking about all the cool electronic devices and things he could bite he found a Juno Beach police officer and handed it over even if he didn't get to keep it

passed it to the girlfriend of her son and she noted that there appeared to be what looked like a rolled cigarette in it when they tipped it out they noticed the paper was tied with a string however it was damp due to the missing cork in the bottle and damp sand so they took it home tried it in the oven and gently unrolled in at the time they had no idea they had just discovered the oldest known

nice number nine 80 million-year-old dinosaur's thigh bow it's official meat-eating ferocious dinosaurs are on the loose in Washington but before you start panicking and seeking shelter they aren't anymore but they may have been about 80 million years ago scientists were on the hunt for extinct marine invertebrates with spiral shells known as ammonites among other fossilized animals they had their sights on San Juan Island which was a short ferry journey from the Seattle area even though they weren't looking for a dinosaur they were thrilled when they found evidence of the tide was out when they saw a fossilized bone in a marine rock they contacted paleontologists at the University of Washington who came out with a rock saw to investigated because the rock was so hard it took a whole day to extract at that stage they didn't know quite what they were dealing with or whether the 18 months they spent preparing the fossil would be worth it however it was they discovered that the bone belonged to a theropod which was of the meat-eating two-legged variety therefore it belonged to the group that had members like Velociraptor and t-rex the bone was sixteen point seven inches long eight point seven inches wide and around four feet long if it were not broken they believe the dinosaur had died near the sea and was thrown around in the waves before it slept with the fishes

times the size of a female great white shark but kids say the darndest things and while he might have wanted to find one no one would expect him to be able to so when he found one while on his annual shark tooth hunt on holiday with his family at Myrtle Beach he couldn't believe his eyes at over five inches long it was undeniably the tooth of a Megalodon rather than a smaller great white when Foster first saw the tooth it looked like a rock but once he washed it and removed the sand he knew that what was sticking out from the side of a bank was no other than a Megalodon tooth Coastal Carolina University marine science professor Daniel Abel said the tooth is millions of years old megalodons lived anywhere from 23 million to 2.6 million years ago and were brought to extinction by the warming oceans according to Foster's parents he was the best person to find such a treasure he loves everything about sharks and even has shark clothing and books the tooth is now on display at the riverfront museum in Peoria and no number seven missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 the story of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 gripped the world for a plane to go missing in this day

measured around 15 point 5 by 15 point 5 inches and was lying on the stony beach away from the water both pieces that Johnny had discovered had the same unique honeycomb texture on the inside while he

Maritime Museum and also got in touch with the Chinese ambassador and the Museum of Chinese Australian history antique dealers identified it as a Ming Dynasty artifact and how it got to Australia was
