Calcareous phytoplankton fossil, SEM Z100 / 0213
Calcareous phytoplankton fossil. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a fossil of the skeleton (coccosphere) of a coccolithotrope, a small marine algal organism. The coccosphere consists of plates (coccoliths) of calcium carbonate. These skeletons can make up the major component of a limestone rock. This fossil was found in chalk in Rochester, Kent, UK, that was laid down in the Cretaceous period, between 142 and 65 million years ago. Magnification: x5500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fossil of calcareous phytoplankton, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the intricate skeleton, known as a coccosphere, of a coccolithotrope – a small marine algal organism. Composed of calcium carbonate plates called coccoliths, these skeletons can form the primary constituent of limestone rocks. The fossil was discovered in chalk located in Rochester, Kent, UK. This particular chalk formation dates back to the Cretaceous period, an era spanning from 142 to 65 million years ago. With its vibrant colors and detailed structure magnified at x5500 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look into the world of ancient marine life. Notably significant for both zoology and geology enthusiasts alike, this image sheds light on the biological wonders that existed millions of years ago. It highlights the beauty and complexity found within invertebrate organisms such as protozoa and provides valuable insights into their evolutionary history. With its scientific significance and aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a testament to nature's incredible diversity and reminds us of our planet's rich geological past.
