The 12 pages that link to Coccolithophore, each with the reason it gives.

• BiomineralizationBroader topic: Its plates contribute to ocean carbon cycling and form extensive deposits after death.

• DiatomCompared with: Coccolithophores build carbonate coverings rather than diatoms' silica frustules.

• ForaminiferaCompared with: Their carbonate remains also build seafloor deposits, but they are photosynthetic algae rather than foraminifera.

• ChalkRelated: Coccolithophores supply many of the tiny carbonate plates that accumulate to form chalk.

• Carbonate compensation depthRelated: Coccoliths are a major source of calcite settling into deep-sea sediments.

• CalcificationBroader topic: Its microscopic plates are produced by biological calcification.

• DinoflagellateCompared with: Coccolithophores are another prominent group of planktonic algae, with a different cell covering.

• White Cliffs of DoverRelated: Accumulated coccolith plates supplied much of the material that became the cliffs’ chalk.

• MicropaleontologyBroader topic: Its fossil plates are abundant in marine sediments and useful for dating.

• HaptophyteBroader topic: This haptophyte subgroup is a major producer of marine calcium carbonate.

• ChromistaBroader topic: Some classifications include these algae among chromists, illustrating membership variation.

• Møns KlintRelated: Accumulated coccolith plates supplied much of the material that became the cliffs' chalk.
