One Person Left on Earth Knows the Ancient Secret of Producing Sea Silk

Sea silk (known also as byssus) is a type of fabric. Whilst silk is famously known to be obtained from the cocoons of the mulberry silkworm larvae, sea silk comes from another source. As its name suggests, sea silk is produced by a marine creature, a type of Mediterranean clam known as pen shells, to be more specific.
