Thus, the viruses which attack the autotrophic prokaryotes Synechococcus, the bacteria which absorb dissolved organic excreted by autotrophic protists such as diatoms and dinoflagellates, and the protists such as ciliates, radiolarians which feed on autotrophic protists are all consumers of primary production.

Some marine heliozoans (radiolarians) have a protective exoskeleton of silica, but freshwater species just have tiny silica scales or a perforated capsule.

Even larger virus-like particles (700 nm) have been found in the food vacuoles of radiolarians (skeleton-forming protists).

Other sediment posters: Some others 1727 had radiolarians from ODP Site 1123; 1732 on the Faroe Islands for 16000 years HM03-13325; 1742 from Indonesia MD98-2165. 1753 was on the Illimanni ice core where the last 5 meters of a 136.5 meter core represented 15,000 years.

"Once the impact occurred, almost overnight, the land was wiped clean of large animals, with nothing larger than 15 kilograms [33 pounds] surviving, and oceans that once were dominated by large predators, such as mosasaurs and plesiosaurs, saw them disappear, as well as nautilus-like ammonites that had lived for 300 million years and even very complex single-celled organisms such as radiolarians."
