Plankton sampled in Villefranche-sur-Mer. Animal larval stages, copepods, ciliates, tintinnids, foraminifera, and radiolarians.
Tinntinid ciliates are known because of their remarkable and taxonomically relevant shells. Can you spot the #tintinnids we sampled in Villefranche-sur-Mer (visiting @tintinnman.bsky.social) among the other planktonic organisms?
Do you want to know how tintinnids build their shells?
