Flat as a leaf is this foraminifera from the Rupelian/Oligocene, found in clay clods in a pit in Eastern Germany. foraminifera.eu/loc.php?loca... #foraminifera #microfossils #micropaleontology #Paleogene

Infralittoral benthic foraminifera from northern Chile - Journal of Iberian Geology

This communication analyzes the distribution of benthic foraminifera in the infralittoral zone of northern Chile located between 26° and 29°S at depths between 7 and 12 m. Twenty-six taxa have been id...

Help with ID needed. This specimen is from the Tortonian (Miocene) of Northern Germany/Denmark. Is it Globigerinella obesa ?

Upper Cretaceous foraminifera from glacier-displaced strata near Rostock, Northeastern Germany. They were collected by Ralf-Rainer Schulz. We took the first images, which can be seen at foraminifera.eu/collection.p... #foraminifera #microfossils #paleontology #Cretaceous

I found this planktic foraminifera in a Turonian slab. It was sheared off by glaciers, transported + dumped north of Berlin. Is it Archaeoglobigerina cretacea ? Maybe a professional can tell. // See foraminifera.eu/collection.p... #foraminifera #microfossils #fossils #paleontology #Cretaceous

Foraminifera or just pseudofossil rock chips ??? I picked about 50 specimens from 10g of a disintegrate Jurassic shale. I think these are compressed agglutinated forams. Whats your opinion ? #foraminifera #microfossils #Jurassic #fossils #MarineLife #paleontology

I found several shallow water foraminifera as this Ammonia in a sand from the German Pre-Alps. They prove its marine origin from the Paratethys ocean. The Paratethys covered about 18mya ago vast areas north of the Alps. #foraminifera #MarineLife #fossils #microfossils #Miocene

One of my fave agglutinated #foraminifera Recurvoidella bradyi (Robertson, 1891; superseded Haplophragmoides bradyi) x180 from Loch Sunart, Scotland. Amazes me how #forams are so particular about grain mineralogy & size. This one has a smooth, shiny test of tiny grains & is usually a browny-orange.

We are looking for samples (20-50g) from the English Channel to enlarge our catalog. Image: The foraminifera Elphidium from Swanage, UK. Our catalog of North Sea forams contains 1000+ figured specimens: foraminifera.eu/cns.php #foraminifera #MarineLife #MarineBiology #MarineEcology #NorthSea

I am eager to build a community of marine educators/communicators, and ocean literacy researchers and practitioners here. I created this starter pack. If I included you and you want to be removed, let me know! Reply if you want to be added. Let's see if we can grow the #marineeducationsky

Happy #ForamFriday here's a Hantkenina australis, just for you

A scanning electron micrograph of Hantkenina australis. It's a planispiral planktic foraminifera with tubulospines at the end of its chambers, the last of which are curved backwards.
