Calcareous phytoplankton fossil, SEM Z100 / 0212
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 limestone rocks. 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: x5700 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a calcareous phytoplankton fossil, revealing the intricate details of its skeleton under a scanning electron microscope. The vibrant colors bring to life the coccosphere, which is composed of numerous calcium carbonate plates known as coccoliths. These tiny marine algal organisms played a significant role in forming limestone rocks due to their abundance in ancient oceans. Discovered in chalk formations located in Rochester, Kent, UK, this particular fossil dates back to the Cretaceous period that spanned from 142 to 65 million years ago. With a magnification of x5700 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute feature and structure becomes visible. The image provides an insight into the world of these flagellate creatures and highlights their importance within zoology and geology studies. By examining such fossils through advanced microscopy techniques like SEM, scientists gain valuable information about biological evolution and geological processes. This photograph not only captures the beauty of nature but also serves as a reminder of our planet's rich history. It symbolizes the interconnectedness between various scientific disciplines while showcasing the wonders hidden within even seemingly ordinary objects like limestone rocks.
