Product Description
Spiroloculina is a marine unicellular organism that forms a calciferous shell. The shells of Spiroloculina as well as other foraminiferans make up the White Cliffs of Dover in England and the Kreideküste in Germany. Ernst Haeckel described it like this, “The surface is partially pitted. The nine chambers are spirally rolled in one plane; each one makes a half circuit.” In general, forams are distinguished by the holes in their shells which allows the amoeboid protists to stream ectoplasm out of their shells and catch food. This model is inspired by Spiroloculina nitida, a benthic foraminiferan.
The pendant measures 1.9 cm wide by 2.5 cm long below the loop.
