The biggest-ever sample of core material from Earth’s mantle could have valuable clues into the origins of life

an international team which retrieved a record-breaking 1,268m-long drill core (a long cylindrical sample of rock collected by the drill) of mantle rock from the seabed. This sample, which is more than six times longer than the previous core of mantle rock, has given us a glimpse into the composition of this mostly inaccessible layer of the Earth.
