Silver

Silver deposits are associated with silver dolor growth. The silver dolor is a large-gilled organism (resembling a translucent flower) that dwells in shallow caves. Silver ions bind to DNA, making them effective antibiotics on Earth. Spectrogenetic analysis suggests this organism uses silver to stabilize unusual DNA configurations which would normally be nonviable. The adaptive benefit of this chemistry is unknown.

Search target: cave entrances and cave walls to the northwest of the lifepod.

Silver (Ag), element 47.

The most conductive and reflective of all pure metals. Silver nanoparticles are vital in both medical technology and nanoprinted circuits.

Also important in modern nuclear reactors and high-efficiency solar panels.

Silver accumulation in the body (from exposure in seawater and diet) can cause long term health effects ranging from blue skin to death. This world’s dissolved silver levels are unsafe for human habitation.
