Biological Particles

Biologicals

Biologicals, as used here, refers to those particles that originate from living organisms. They are identified by the combination of shape and optical properties that confirm their origin. Many of these materials; such as diatom casts, siliceous phytoliths, and fossils; are not carbon-based in their final form.
