Species of spores, pollen grains and dinoflagellate cysts are the most common palynomorphs found. Planktic and benthic calcareous foraminifera were recovered from the lowest two levels of the section ...

Planktonic foraminifera are abundant, compared to agglutinated foraminifera (in small quantities) and calcareous foraminifera (in small quantities). Palynomorphs are absent, suggesting a mid-neritic ...

Planktonic Foraminifera are ubiquitous marine protozoa inhabiting the upper ocean. During life, they secrete calcareous shells, which accumulate in marine sediments, providing a geological record of ...

The objective of this study was to assess the acute toxicity (LC-48 h) of human-smoked cigarette butts leachate on 3 cultured genera of benthic foraminifera: the calcareous perforate Rosalina ...

My research focuses on the biostratigraphy and taxonomy of planktonic foraminifera. The possible applications of these calcareous microfossils are several such as biostratigraphy, paleoecology and ...

Increased abundances of benthic calcareous foraminifera co-occur with the planktics through this interval. Expectedly, foraminifera become rare or absent from the two diamict units. Planktic ...

The UCL Micropalaeontology facility specializes in calcareous microfossils such foraminifera, siliceous fossils such as radiolarians and diatoms and microfossil processing and extraction. These ...

The foraminifera form calcareous shells called tests in which the content of oxygen-18 depends on the temperature of the water in which they live. Changes in the ocean's temperature over time were ...
