Biomineralization within vesicles: the calcite of coccoliths
JR Young, K Henriksen - Reviews in mineralogy and …, 2003 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Coccolithophores are a group of unicellular plant plankton, which produce exoskeletons of
minute calcite plates, called coccoliths. Despite their small size (1− 10 µm across), coccoliths …

A molecular timescale for eukaryote evolution with implications for the origin of red algal-derived plastids
In modern oceans, eukaryotic phytoplankton is dominated by lineages with red algal-derived
plastids such as diatoms, dinoflagellates, and coccolithophores. Despite the ecological …
