Description: Dinocyst varve from Lake Xiaolongwan, northeastern China, consisting of light- and brown-colored laminae in the thin sections. The brown-colored layer is composed mainly of dinoflagellate cysts. The grey-colored layer consists of other organic (plant detritus, diatoms, chrysophyte cysts) and clastic matter. A: Flatbed scan of a thin section; B: Detail of laminations from the marked area in A analysed microscopically with transmitted light; C: Enlarged detail of B with transmitted light.
Picture Type: microscopic

Description: Scanning electron microscopic image of dinoflagellate cysts in Lake Xiaolongwan. A: Cyst showing antapical archeopyle; B: Detail of cyst wall, showing very fine ornamentation in the surface; C: Cyst showing paraplate structure, similar to the theca of Peridinium inconspicuum. D: View of the large archeopyle; E: Cyst with large archeopyle and impressed structure; F: Cyst showing a paraplate structure.
