Calcification of selected coccolithophore species: strontium partitioning, calcium isotope fractionation and dependence on seawater carbonate chemistry Dissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften - Dr. rer. nat. am Fachbereich 2 (Biologie/Chemie) der Universität Bremen vorgelegt von Gerald Langer Bremen, September 2005 "If entire coccospheres are examined ..... it will be found that numerically about 80 per cent. of them contain an internal oval colourless body. Closer examination reveals that this body is in many cases a complete and perfect coccolith....."
