FIGURE 1. SEM images of coccoliths viewed from (a) the distal and (b) the proximal sides with inclination of 70° from the horizontal. Insets in the top-right of both figures are schematic cross sections adapted from Marsh (1999). The elements colored with light blue and light pink indicate single V- and R-units, respectively. The distal shields (d), outer tube elements (o), organic base plate (b), proximal shields (p), and inner tube elements (i) are indicated in the figures. The arrow in a indicates the point from which the EBSD pattern in Figure 2 was acquired.
