If this is not a Solmaris viewed dorsally/ventrally, then I don't see any organism in the key that matches this plankter.

That really is a protist - it's actually round, like a ball, evenly covered with stiff spikes.

The body and spikes are made of calcium or other hard materials. Check out the website for "Plankton Chronicles" for great videos!

Forgot to say- you're right, protists aren't in the key because the scientists are only studying the organisms in the key.

But we often comment on the organisms that are so interesting!
