Scientists can recreate the climates of the past through tiny marine shells called “Forams” found on the ocean floor. Student researchers from Earth & Environmental Sciences demonstrate via dance how they work with these creatures. #CalLutheranCares

Together with the Etches Collections in Kimmeridge we work on foraminifera from the Kimmeridge Formation. We start by building an illustrated list of species, so far in open nomenclature: foraminifera.eu/loc.php?locali… // #foraminifera #Jurassic #micropaleontology #fossil #paleontology

The benthic foraminifera Ehrenbergina serrata found on the slope off Northwestern Africa. Find more images of taxa in our paper: researchgate.net/publication/36… #foraminifera #benthos #meiofauna #Atlantic #MarineSpecies

Read our recent blog post to find out how Comet Yxlon’s advanced CT technology helped a team of researchers identify and categorise tiny fossils within a section of Holstein Rock, without having to crack open the rock itself. yxlon.comet.tech/en/blog/holste… LIB Foraminifera.eu

Meet me at the Palges Conference in Jena 18.9.-21.9. The full poster is available at dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.… #foraminifera #fossils #paleontology #Jurassic #Paleogene

For our Catalog of modern Greater North Sea foraminifera we found this Homalohedra williamsoni. Send us your material to fill gaps: foraminifera.eu/cns.php #foraminifera #ForamFriday #NorthSea

Some creatures build their homes on a quartz pebble. See more at foraminifera.eu/single.php?no=… #foraminifera #MarineLife #NorthSea #protists #benthic

It is time to start preparing for the AGM! 🎉 This year's meeting will happen in Kraków from November 6th to 9th.

Which paper describes the difference between Amphistegina gibbosa and A. lessonii ? #foraminifera #protist #florida #shelf

Nodosaria lagenifera. See foraminifera.eu/collection.php… #foraminifera #NorthSea #Norway #MarineLife

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?no=… #foraminifera #microfossil #micropalaeontology #Jurassic

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

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

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

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.php… #foraminifera #microfossils #Cretaceous #paleontology #fossils
