Oligo-Miocene marine bivalves from the Kutch Basin (western India) and their biogeographic implications in the context of Tethyan closure The Oligo-Miocene marine deposits of the Kutch Basin in western India display a diverse faunal assemblage during and after the separation of the Tethyan seaway. We documented 22 genera and 35 speci...

Digital reconstruction of a CT-scanned reticulate Nummulites (foraminifera), shown from two different angles. Successive whorls are indicated by different colours (purple for the outermost whorl, followed by green, blue, red, and yellow in the centre). Scale bar at the bottom is 1 mm (whole organism has a diameter of about 2 mm).

Our paper is finally out! ๐Ÿฅณ Please dive into the story of how a struggling reticulate Nummulites species probably adapted and survived a calamitous Eocene-Oligocene transition!

Thank you @lauraminifera.bsky.social and @moononthebones.bsky.social for being the backbone guiding me in this study ๐Ÿค—
