Also Florisphaera profunda?

Sir,I am not if the 3 small coccoliths in part A of this picture is Florisphaera profunda or not.When I do my reserch about the living coccolithophores in South China Sea,I found some even small coccoliths looks like the small ones in part A,so I am confused.I have taken some photographs which both normal F. profunda and small(not sure) ones are present.I will give you that photos if you need.May you do me a fafor to help me make sure it?
Thanks,
AN

Dear AN Baizheng Thank you

Dear AN Baizheng

Thank you for the query, but yrs those small speciemns in fig A are F. profunda coccoliths. F. profunda does produce rather varaible coccoliths/nannoliths and the smaller ones can be difficult to consistently identify, especially in sediments.
