Summary

The diversity of calcified structures found in protists, the mechanisms utilized to form these structures, and the role these structures play in the taxonomy and systematics of the protists are presented. The two most frequently studied orders of protists which produce calcified structures, the coccolithophorids and foraminifera, are featured. However, consideration is given to the less known and least studied organisms.

Keywords
