While the [[Spinel Borewurm|spinel borewurm]] proliferated in the lower soil horizons of the non-volcanic regions of [[Lamarck Water Table|Lamarck water table]], another population diverged in the volcanic regions. Here, sulfur is a commonly occurring substance, so the [[borewurm]]s bound it to their Mg2+ to eliminate it as waste. However, the Al3+ was combined with silicate to form its exoskeleton. This led to the evolution of the '''sapphire borewurm'''. |
