FIGURE 4. Atomic arrangements of Ca (filled circles) and C (smaller open circles) on the calcite {0Formula4} and {2Formula0} planes that are close to the bottom planes of the V- and R-units, respectively, and so are possibly in contact with the organic base plate. The {2Formula0} plane is viewed along the [100] direction. The directions of the coccolith rim are also shown as broken lines.
