Acritarch


Acritach are small organic fossils from approximately 3200 years ago to the present.  Acritarchs are the remains of a wide range of quite different kinds of organisms such as the egg cases of small metazoans to resting cysts of many different kinds of chlorophyta, otherwise known as 'green algae'.

Cool.
