Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 39, No. 2, Pg. 17:
Shells of planktonic animals called foraminifera record climatic conditions as they are formed. This one, Globigerinoides ruber, lives year-round at the surface of the Sargasso Sea. The form of the live animal is shown here, and its shell, which is actually about the size of a fine grain of sand.
