The limestones are pure calcarenites lacking siliciclastic detritus and containing a distinctive fossil assemblage of crinoid plates, algal grains, corals, ammonoids, brachiopods and fusulinids.
The ilmenite grains generally form dendritic plates (arrowed) in contrast to the euhedral orthopyroxene grains.
The moving ampoule blow against metal plates created the impulse acceleration.
The wells in each of the 3 types of plates were filled with approximately 15 ml of distilled water.
Worms, transferred to microtitre plates using insect pins, were placed individually in the bottom of a well containing 200 l of water.
The plates were incubated at room temperature for 60 min and washed before a substrate solution was added.
