Received on October 1, 1985; accepted on August 1, 1986 When examined under crossed nichols on a polarizing microscope dinoflagellate cysts exhibit a characteristic cross-like interference figure which highlights cysts from background particulates.This dinoflagellate ‘fingerprint’ provides an important new tool for the analysis of the occurrence of cysts in detritus and sediment.
