Microfossil: Measurement, Composition & Organic-walled

A microfossil is a fossil that is generally between one micrometre and one millimetre in size, the visual study of which requires the use of light or electron microscopy. A fossil which can be studied with the naked eye or low-powered magnification, such as a hand lens, is referred to as a macrofossil.
