Jigsaw Puzzle : Coloured SEM of Foraminifera Textularia sp. fossil
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Coloured SEM of Foraminifera Textularia sp. fossil
Fossil foraminifera. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the fossil shell of the single-celled protozoan Textularia sp. belonging to the order Foraminifera. Foraminifera shells are composed of several chambers & usually penetrated by pores through which the cellular contents are extruded. The organisms live in the sea or salt- water lakes. Foraminiferan shells form an important component of chalk and of many deep sea oozes. In previous geological ages Foraminifera occurred in such enormous numbers that their shells, largely of calcium carbonate, have formed immense fossil deposits seen today as limestone. Magnification: x600 at 5x7cm size. x1600 at 8x6ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Textularia sp. fossil, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The single-celled protozoan belonging to the order Foraminifera is depicted in stunning detail, with its fossil shell composed of multiple chambers and adorned with delicate pores. Foraminifera are fascinating organisms that inhabit the depths of our oceans and saltwater lakes. Their shells play a crucial role in forming chalk and can be found as essential components in various deep-sea oozes. In fact, these ancient creatures were once so abundant that their calcium carbonate shells formed vast limestone deposits visible today as fossils from previous geological ages. The magnified image reveals the mesmerizing intricacy hidden within this tiny creature's shell. At 600 times magnification for a 5x7cm size or an impressive 1600 times magnification for an 8x6ins print, every minute detail becomes apparent to the viewer. This photograph not only captures the scientific significance of these remarkable organisms but also highlights their aesthetic appeal. It serves as a reminder of nature's incredible diversity and offers us a glimpse into the mysterious world beneath our seas.
