Many protists have protective shells or tests, usually made from silica (glass) or calcium carbonate (chalk). Protists are mostly single-celled and microscopic. Their shells are often tough, mineralised forms that resist degradation, and can survive the death of the protist as a microfossil. Although protists are typically very small, they are ubiquitous. Their numbers are such that their shells play a huge part in the formation of ocean sediments and in the global cycling of elements and nutrients.
