HOLO- AND HETRO. “Two distinct classes of coccoliths have been identified. Holococcoliths are simple single-crystalline structures, while heterococcoliths are more complex multi-component structures. Current evidence suggests that holococcoliths are formed on the external cell surface while heterococcoliths are produced in intracellular compartments (coccolith vesicle).”
