Cool Coccolithophores!Coccolithophores are one celled organisms, a type of phytoplankton that live in the ocean. They have been around for millions of years! These organisms cover themselves with tiny circular plates made of calcite and reproduce asexually. They are the leading calcite producers in our ocean, dumping more than 1.5 million tons per year. -KK1https://flic.kr/p/bww7Mghttps://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/Coccolithophores/coccolith_1.phphttps://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/coccolithophore -- source link
