Acritarchs and Chitinozoa (1873 words) |
 | Chitinozoa are flask-shaped sacs or vesicles, their surface may be smooth, striated, granular, spongy, spiny or ornamented with branching appendages. |
| The chain-forming attribute of many chitinozoa is an important clue, the generally accepted theory is that the chitinozoa are the eggs of a metazoan, as long coiled chains of eggs are known in some groups for instance polychaete worms and molluscs. |
| Chitinozoa are large enough to be captured in twenty micron gauzes and are often prepared for separately. |
