I thought about this and I believe that diatoms get into the bloodstream during the drowning event, perhaps sometimes very violently, and thus find their own way around the salty bubbles that a dead human represents, until they settle on bone marrow .. a long path-way perhaps to you and me, but maybe diatoms and other such organisms are born to find the safest parts of the big, wide ocean ..
- pvaldes 8y agoVery unprobable. Diatoms are algae. They need two things: A substrate rich in nutrients and light. There is not reason for a diatom to deliberately settle inside an opaque bone. Moreover, any strange corpse in the bloodstream would end in the liver (and kidneys) so they would be free again and lost after the corpse decay.
