Unraveling the Mystery: Tracing the Fate of Missing Coccolith Components Beyond Chalk
ChalkGetting Started Coccoliths, intricate microscopic calcite plates produced by single-celled marine algae known as coccolithophores, have long fascinated scientists and geologists. These tiny structures play a key role in the formation of chalk, a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcite that is abundant in the geologic record. Recent research, however, has shed light on the
