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...

Thanks for your comment. M. Phipps convinced me that the sigmoidal sutures point to Marginotruncana marginata.

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...

These days we have passed the 23,000 mark in our database. A big thank you to all contributors from all over the world for sending sediments, specimens, images and help with identifications. #foraminifera #microfossils #fossils #MarineLife #paleontology #MarineScience

Thanks for your reply. I think the chamber arrangement on both sides looks different and chambers are somewhat rounded, which brought me to Trochamminids.

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

Today under the microscope aged ~155.000.000 years old: The foraminifera Epistomina ornata (I think) from the Kimmeridgian, Dorset coast, UK. See more at foraminifera.eu/single.php?n...

One of my fave agglutinated #foraminifera Recurvoidella bradyi (Robertson, 1891; superseded Haplophragmoides bradyi) x180 from Loch Sunart, Scotland.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

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

Please add us. We foster all interested in foraminifera and offer our free image database to show this lifeform

the foraminifera Hyrrokkin, feeding on corals.

We study foraminifera. Please add us. Michael

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.

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