Geoscientists created a new method that can reconstruct the drift path and origin of debris in the sea using the shells of barnacles.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished without a trace with 12 crew and 227 passengers on board in March 2014.
USF geologist Gregory Herbert has used the method previously to determine the ages and extinction risk of giant horse conchs and investigate the environmental circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the Jamestown colony.
Scientists hope the barnacles can lead to a breakthrough.
Back in 2014, flight MH370 and the 239 on board disappeared. After years of searching, researchers think that barnacles could help reveal the location of the aircraft.
