The Secret Life of Endoliths: Earth's Crust Dwellers
Have you ever wondered what lies beneath the Earth’s surface? Meet endoliths, the remarkable organisms that call the earth’s crust their home. These tiny lifeforms are truly fascinating because they manage to thrive in places where it seems almost impossible for life to exist. Endoliths are found in all sorts of extreme environments, from Antarctica’s dry valleys to scorching hot deserts, and…
Fungi in coral reefs exist as endoliths where they penetrate carbonate structures, endobionts where they are associated with living organisms such as corals, sponges & holothurians, as saprotrophs in coral mucus, plant detritus, sediments & water column & as pathogens in hard & soft corals.

Album Review: Endolith - Chicxulub - The Fossil Record (Rob Mules Records)
Album Review: Endolith – Chicxulub – The Fossil Record (Rob Mules Records)
On January 18th 2019 the Norwegian progressive extreme metal band Endolith release their second full-length album titled Chicxulub – The Fossil Record via Rob Mules Records. It is a concept album based on the extinction of the dinosaurs, and how current events seem to mirror some of this, for example in the decimation of ecosystems and species we see today.
In the wake of the somewhat cold sound…

Corrosive dwarf Bipes or Hive Pebbles
These cave dwelling bipeds subsist off of iron potassium and sulfur found in rocks. This digestion occurs with the help of an internal lithotropic microbial ecosystem mostly featuring endoliths.
With the help of their protective structures these creatures are extremely resilient to high pressures, high temperatures, and high amounts of radiation. Their bodies protect the internal rock digesting bacteria from otherwise unsurvivable subterranean environments.
Each eye has 2 bioluminescent pupils. Eyesight is poor and the light is primarily to warn potential predators to stay away. Each foot has 3 bulbous toes designed for maximum traction on nearly flat surfaces.
A mildly toxic solution that quickly solidifies is a by product of digesting most rock. A long tongue spreads this solution to produce a hollow translucent purple structure on the creature's back. This structure grows until it is larger than the creature itself. the creature then lives inside it similar to a hermit crab.
These solidified adults huddle together in huge swarms to eat nutrient rich rock. In times of space food, swarms distribute food among st themselves. The hard work of scrapping the toxic shell against a wall to dissolve tougher rock is also distributed. To accomplish this, swarms constantly re arrange themselves much like penguins distributing warmth.
"An endolith is an organism (archaeum, bacterium, fungus, lichen, algae or amoeba) that lives inside rock, coral, animal shells, or in the pores between mineral grains of a rock. Many are extremophiles, living in places previously thought inhospitable to life. They are of particular interest to astrobiologists, who theorize that endolithic environments on Mars and other planets constitute potential refugia for extraterrestrial microbial communities."
Penicillium and Aspergillus, two of many genera of microorganisms found to live inside rocks. Aspergillus can penetrate and consume granite, but also lives in, e.g., dolomitic and limestone rock beds. While the rocks themselves are not alive, they can be said to contain much life.
Oh honey... Why? :(
Why do you ask? because harming my self has become my addiction, and I know I'lI need help. Actually I’m healing on certain parts of my body but the ones that are sane I want to cover them in cuts, with the hope those wounds would dissapeat eventually and nobody would notice, cutting for me has became a secret part of myself that unfourtunatelly I’ve became addicted to it. but I’ll get help ASAP. I promise.
Take care lovely <3
