The recent discovery of prehistoric bone-eating worms challenges our understanding of evolutionary resilience. Historically, the focus has been on more conspicuous marine life—dinosaurs, whales, giant squid—yet these minuscule worms have persisted in obscurity, quietly shaping oceanic ecosystems for over 100 million years. Their ability to feed on bones, a resource once thought to be highly
