Fossil specimens of the autotrophic protist Mallomonas asmundiae bearing cysts and attached scales from an Eocene locality
It is widely accepted that each chrysophyte species produces a mature cyst with a specific morphology4,5,33, and that most species also produce cysts within a relatively narrow range in diameter34. However, despite hundreds of cyst morphotypes…
