Protists in the fossil record (Evolution 🧬)
A protist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus. While it is likely that protists share a common ancestor, the last eukaryotic common ancestor, the exclusion of other eukaryotes means that protists do not form a natural group, or clade. Therefore, some protists may be more closely related to a...

Ugh... Sunday full of work 😅😭

I just archived all microfossil pictures I previously posted on the other site, just in case. It also makes going through all of them more convenient, I think. #Micropaleontology

Together with the Etches Collections in Kimmeridge we work on foraminifera from the Kimmeridge Formation. As a first step we build an illustrated list of species, so far in open nomenclature: https://foraminifera.eu/loc.php?locality=Chapmans+Pool // #foraminifera #Jurassic #micropaleontology #fossil #paleontology

Foraminifera live in huge numbers in the oceans. You may find their precious shells on beaches, in marine sediments of today and as fossils.
