Chalk is a fine-grained carbonate rock constituted mostly of coccolith tests and characterized by a wide range of porosities and low permeabilities.

In another story from Petersfield school, one 10-year-old boy combined local folklore that we had provided in class as a prompt (accounts of chalk carvings on the South Cambridgeshire Gog Magog hills, and an associated account of a knight who appeared on the hills at the full moon to challenge all comers (Porter, 1969: 186-188)) with an understanding of chalk formation in order to tell the tale of 'Chris the coccolith'.

The deeper-water formations, namely the Montpelier Formation (consisting of bedded chert) and the Pelleu Island Formation (which lacks chert), are essentially coccolith planktonic-foraminiferal chalky limestones (Mitchell 2004; Blissett 2006).

Coccolith distribution patterns in south Atlantic and Southern Ocean surface sediments in relation to environmental gradients.

We examined coccolithophore cell concentration, diversity, and coccolith morphology as well as physicochemical parameters with an emphasis on seawater carbonate chemistry.

However, when a molecule of calcium carbonate is formed in the upper ocean as part of a coccolith or planktonic foraminifer test, a molecule of C[O.sub.2] is also formed by this chemical reaction.
