What is the significance of Acritarchs?
The importance of acritarchs arises from their early appearance in the Precambrian and the record they provide of the diversification of the algae and the origin of the plankton. They are evidently the major group of plankton during the Lower Palaeo- zoic, probably continuing as such until the Mesozoic.
