Sand Worms Once Tremored!
This story immediately reminded me of the trilogy of movies from about ten years ago, Tremors. In the movies, sand worms traveled under the ground, coming up and killing people at will. However, this story isn’t too far from reality, especially with the recent findings in an English sea town -Torbay, Devon.
Fossils of sand worms have been found in the area, and they are said to pre-date dinosaurs living approximately 260 million years ago. These sand worms were definitely nowhere as big as the ones in the movies, but they did grow to about three feet long, and were about six inches wide.
The scientists that found the holes these creatures made said they look more like the worms seen in the movie Dune. What do you think? Have giant worms traveled the earth? Or is it just another wish made based on what could be true? Is fiction becoming reality?
