One- to 2-inch long mucus aggregate formed experimentally to mimic conditions that led to the formation of similar large oily flocks after the spill. Such aggregates are very efficient in transporting material, including oil, down to the seafloor. Researchers are conducting studies to better understand when and how they form.

Snapshot of a molecular dynamics simulation of methane hydrate formation showing water cages consisting of twelve pentagonal faces (green), twelve pentagonal and two hexagonal faces (pink) and twelve pentagonal and three hexagonal faces (orange). Methane molecules are shown in orange spheres. Water molecules that do not form a cage are not shown. The temperature and pressure are 240K and 200 bar, respectively.
