Radiolarians. Computerenhanced engraving of radiolarian species. These onecelled protozoan animals are found in marine plankton. Their silicate skeletons seen here are among natures most beautiful structures. Inside each skeleton is the radiolarian cell; protoplasm extends from pores in the skeleton to form long pseudopodia (not seen), and these tiny cells resemble little suns. As they float, the pseudopodia trap food particles and the radiolaria feed. Dead radiolarian skeletons are found in large numbers on the seabed, forming fossil deposits. Engraving taken from Ernst Haeckels famous treatise: Art Forms of Nature (1904).
