Description
Single-celled marine animals, radiolaria are among the microplankton found in all of the world's oceans. An elaborate glassy shell made of silica surrounds the single cell inside. Sticky strands radiating outward from the center capture algae, other plankton, or tiny crustacea for food. Only the shells become fossils, like this one from the sediments of the Ross Sea, Antarctica. SEM x930.
