Re: U.N. Warns About Ocean 'Dead Zones' (Amaranth Rose)

An other name for dead zones: Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAE). You'll find lots of papers googlizing with this acronyme.

Most of the petrol we use originates from these OAE. Geologists stop drilling when the hit the Black shales.

Also, large macrofossils (skeletons)from these anoxic events are generally well preserved.
As the seafloor is a deadly desert, bones are buried undisturbed.
