Scientists say they are finding oil from the broken BP well well below the surface on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico. Oil at least two inches thick has been found a mile under the surface. Under that oil was dead shrimp and other small animals, according to a University of Georgia researcher. Researcher Samantha Joye said they found oil as far as 80 miles from the site of the spill.
