Foraminiferan tests
Foraminiferan tests (shells), macrophotograph. Species seen here include Bulimina gibba, Elphidium crispum, E. articulatum, Lagena sulcata, and Miliolinella circularis. Foraminifera are marine single-celled marine protozoa that construct and inhabit a calcium carbonate shell composed of several chambers. These are usually penetrated by pores through which the cellular content is extruded. The shells form an important component of chalk. In past geological ages, foraminifera were so numerous that their shells, largely composed of calcium carbonate, have formed immense fossil deposits, seen today as limestone. Also seen copepod tests and fragments of sea coal (black). Magnification: x36 at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This macrophotograph showcases a stunning array of Foraminiferan tests, or shells, captured in intricate detail. The image reveals various species including Bulimina gibba, Elphidium crispum, E. articulatum, Lagena sulcata, and Miliolinella circularis. Foraminifera are remarkable marine single-celled protozoa that construct and inhabit calcium carbonate shells consisting of multiple chambers. The porous nature of these shells allows the cellular content to be extruded through tiny openings. These exquisite structures play a significant role in the formation of chalk and have left behind immense fossil deposits throughout geological history. Today, we can witness these remnants as magnificent limestone formations. In addition to the foraminiferan tests, this photograph also captures copepod tests and fragments of sea coal scattered amidst the shells. The black sea coal provides an intriguing contrast against the delicate white structures. With a magnification level of x36 at 10 centimeters wide, this backlit image offers us a glimpse into the mesmerizing world of these microscopic creatures. It is a testament to their incredible diversity and importance within marine ecosystems. This photograph was taken by Science Photo Library and serves as a reminder of the wonders found in nature's smallest creations – reminding us that even within something as seemingly insignificant as a shell lies an entire universe waiting to be explored.
