Oarfish: The Ultimate Fish Tale

Thought to the be inspiration of “sea serpent” stories, the monstrously-long Oarfish provokes wonder in nearly all that witness it. Yet despite our fascination, little is known about this fish, its lifecycle and how it navigates its deep-sea environment. With help of a frozen specimen, CalState Assistant Professor Misty Paig-Tran provides us with a biomechanist insights into this real-life “sea monster’s” unusual physiology.

Queen Paubi’s headdress (½)

c.2500 BCE

Ur, Iraq

“This ornate headdress and pair of earrings were found with the body of Queen Puabi in the Royal Cemetery at Ur. The headdress is made up of 20 gold leaves, two strings of lapis and carnelian, and a large gold comb. In addition, she wore chokers, necklaces, and large lunate-shaped earrings. Her upper body was covered by strands of beads made of precious metals and semiprecious stones that stretched from her shoulders to her belt. Ten rings decorated her fingers. A diadem or fillet made up of thousands of small lapis lazuli beads with gold pendants depicting plants and animals was apparently on a table near her head. Two attendants were in the chamber with Puabi, one crouched near her head, the other at her feet. Various metal, stone, and pottery vessels lay around the walls of the chamber.”

Today I observed an interesting phenomenon with the SEM. While imaging a radiolarian at 20kv, the sample became completely statically charged. When I switched back to 1kv it behaved as a spherical mirror to electrons, revealing a distorted reflection of the inside of the electron microscope!
