Phytoplankton studies in the North Atlantic have revealed coccoliths of Neosphaera coccolithomorpha and Ceratolithus cristatus occurring on the same cell. This may indicate that each of these species represents a stage of one coccolithophorid life cycle, in which each phase possesses a different heterococcolith type. However, definitive evidence for this is lacking.
