Xenospheres - associations of coccoliths resembling coccospheres

Description : A set of images of xenospheres are presented. These are anomalous coccospheres bearing coccoliths of two or more coccolithophore species. Unlike combination coccospheres, these are almost certainly the products of post mortem processes. Possible mechanisms of formation are discussed, and comparative...

Coccolithophores for exhibition: A note

Description : When we work with coccolithophores, we sometimes overlook their beauty, strangeness and visual impact. However, recently their visual qualities were amply confirmed, after one of us (MG) spent an afternoon false-colouring an SEM image for a science photography competition: the resultant image won Fi...

Determination of absolute coccolith abundances in deep-sea sediments by spiking with microbeads and spraying (SMS-method)

Description : A quick new method is described for the quantification of absolute nannofossil proportions in deep-sea sediments. Thismethod (SMS) is the combination of Spiking a sample with Microbeads and Spraying it on a cover slide. It is suitablefor scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses and for light micr...

Potential and limitations of Sr/Ca ratios in coccolith carbonate: new perspectives from cultures and monospecific samples from sediments

Description : The Sr/Ca ratio of coccoliths was recently proposed as a potential indicator of past growth rates of coccolithophorids, marine algae, which play key roles in both the global carbonate and carbon cycles. We synthesize calibrations of this proxy through laboratory culture studies and analysis of monos...

Calibration of the random settling technique for calculation of absolute abundances of calcareous nannoplankton

Description : We describe a device for random settling preparation of calcareous nannoplankton (coccolith) samples. The device allows easy draining and cleaning, as well as sedimentation at different heights of the water column through the use of different slide carriers. Reproducibility and accuracy of the devic...
