Dr. Tsilavo Razafimanantsoa, backed by @GENUS, rocked the XXI @INQUA in Rome ! His dive into Quaternary science shed light on its vital role in Madagascar's landscape conservation. Networking with global PalaeoScientists made it a true blast! #GENUSChampion #INQUA2023

@bschovil @EmCHyatt After some investigating, it may likely be a coccolith

@EmCHyatt @Limno_Kelly might be able to help?

An ID question for #sciencetwitter. #dinoflagellate cyst? #diatom? It came from a #seaturtle carapace #epibiont sample.
