    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

  10. Today I found this planktonic foraminifera in a Turonian slab. It was sheared off by glaciers somewhere, transported and eventually dumped north of Berlin. Is it Archaeoglobigerina cretacea ? Maybe a professional can tell. // See more at foraminifera.eu/collection.php

  15. New research on #protists sheds light on #DeepSea energy sources whoi.edu/press-room/news-relea

    Array of metabolic pathways in kleptoplastidic #foraminifera supports #chemoautotrophy in dark, euxinic seafloor sediments academic.oup.com/ismej/article by Fatma Gomaa et al.

    "This species takes up unrelated organism’s #chloroplasts#organelles that perform #photosynthesis... We know #kleptoplasty is happening here, but we needed to understand why this foraminifer is so successful in the dark, without oxygen"

  16. 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=

    Coupled #volcanic activity and marine #anoxia in the Upper #Yangtze region prior to the #Capitanian mass #extinction sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    "The geochemical data and decline in calcareous #algae and fusulinacean #foraminifera... indicates #MarineAnoxia and more pronounced stratification... In such conditions, #OxygenMinimumZones likely developed... that would have inhibited the survival of organisms."

    "#Foraminifera #protists... build a shell, several hundred micrometers in size, which is made of #CalciumCarbonate... these #calcite structures are highly sensitive to changes in seawater #chemistry... This is reflected in an accelerated decrease in shell weight during the 20th century."

    "#Foraminifera are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the #oceans. Their hard shells, made of #CalciumCarbonate, can withstand the test of time and their #fossils reveal a lot about Earth's history, including past climates and environments."

    "#SingleCelled organisms known as #foraminifera produce chambered #shells of calcium carbonate, and they are an important part of marine food chains... New research has focused on the impact of #acidification on benthic #forams"

  22. I’m really not sure about this one. It’s pretty raggedy and beat-up. I’m wondering, could this be foraminifera Procerolagena multilaterata? I need to make friends with a #foram expert to check my #foraminifera IDs! Anyone willing to be my go-to scientist?

  23. Some round things from my @norwichsciencefestival and @norfolkwt sample. a foraminifera, a copepod egg, and a Gastropod larva. As always, correct me if I’m wrong!

  24. Scientist's life is: hardly being able to sleep from excitement. This week we kicked off not one, but TWO new projects with two new team members. The second one will be experimental #diagenesis in #foraminifera, which are widely used for #climate reconstructions. They record the #isotope composition of the seawater in which they lived, but that composition may be altered after their death - we will try to reproduce this experimentally in the lab as part of a nessc.nl project. I started a #palaeontology BSc course 👩🏼‍🏫 by incorporating analytical methods and teaching students documentation of their analyses by using #RMarkdown. It is an attempt to change the perception of #palaeontology from descriptive and exploratory to a more hypothetico-deductive and quantitative field. And I finished at the Uni of Leicester 🇬🇧 with the big honour of examining a PhD candidate who epitomized this approach by establishing a quantitative proxy for the trophic level of #conodonts and possibly any #invertebrates with dental tools. And that's just the highlights. It's a big privilege to be a scientist.

  25. Foraminiferal Christmas cards paleonerdish.wordpress.com/202 #protists #forams #sciart by @Ferwen

    "During the early decades of the 20th-century, Arthur Earland and Edward Heron-Allen were #volunteers at the #NaturalHistoryMuseum. They both studied #Foraminifera, a group of single celled #protozoa with shells of different composition and granuloreticulose #pseudopodia. Each #Christmas, Earland and Heron-Allen exchanged unusual but beautiful #ChristmasCards made with foraminifera."

  26. @miekeroth Fascinating! Have you ever been interested in marine #microfossil structure, namely #foraminifera and #pteropods? I'm am a #paleoclimatologist and there are a lot of climate related questions that may be tackled with ability to print 3-D structures of those organisms.

  27. Just had the thought to try this here; some time ago, I tried it on the bird site and tumblr and didn't get anything. So, #foram #foraminifera folks: anyone that picks them, where do you get your supplies? Specifically like what's in the pic, the components for the slides as circled? Some months ago where we usually get them stopped selling them and not sure if they have found anyone new yet (I work mostly at home, and have been adding to someone else's set, and there's a lot of them)...1/2
