  1. Holoplanktonic #gastropods (#pteropods and #heteropods) are major components of modern Indo–West Pacific (IWP) #plankton yet their #fossil record in this region remains sparse. Expanding the spatial and temporal coverage of fossil data is essential for reconstructing #dispersal pathways of pelagic fauna within the IWP and understanding the origins of present-day #diversity doi.org/10.7717/peerj.21046

  2. @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.
