CHAPTER VI.
FOSSIL FORAMINIFERA AND RADIOLARIA.
=Protozoans, Their Structure.--=
The animals forming the sub-kingdom PROTOZOA ("lowliest animals"), are
unicellular (one-celled), as distinguished from all the succeeding higher
groups, which are known as the METAZOA ("animals beyond"). The former
group, Protozoa, have all their functions performed by means of a simple
cell, any additions to the cell-unit merely forming a repetitional
or aggregated cell-structure. A familiar example of such occurs in
pond-life, in the Amoeba, a form which is not found fossilised on account
of the absence of any hard parts or covering capable of preservation.
Foraminifera and Radiolaria, however, have such hard parts, and are
frequently found fossilised.
