A coccolithophorid from the Ionean Sea. Coccolithophorids are plants and cover their cells with calcium carbonate plates. Lugol's-fixed specimen, DIC optics. In the gallery of Tintinnids, genus Codonellopsis, see a species that uses some of the coccoliths to cover its own shell.
Description: English: Under certain conditions, en:Emiliania huxleyi can form massive blooms which can be detected by satellite remote sensing. What looks like white clouds in the water, is in fact the reflected light from billions of coccoliths floating in the water-column. en:Landsat image from 24th July en:1999, courtesy of Steve Groom, en:NEODAAS, Plymouth Marine Laboratory. This bloom attracted considerable coverage in the UK media. Date: 24 July 1999. Source: This file is lacking source information. Please edit this file's description and provide a source.
