Eocene emergence of highly calcifying coccolithophores despite declining atmospheric CO2
Coccolithophores, a group of unicellular calcifying phytoplankton, have been major contributors to marine carbonate production since the calcite plates that they produce (coccoliths) first appeared in the fossil record over 200 million years ago (Ma).
