A nice, new #study out by Jörg Lippold & colleagues on #radiocarbon differences in co-occurring planktic #foraminifera. They document how subsurface-dwellers like G. truncatulinoides have ages offset, on average, by ~300 14-C yrs compared to surface-ocean species (like G. ruber & T. sacculifer).

An intruder appeared while doing #Raman spectroscopy on submarine volcanic tephra... a #foraminifera! #ThinSectionThursday

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?

I'm thrilled to announce the "Hoshizuna: floating star sand" science-art exhibit will be held from March 25th-31st on OIST campus.
Admission is free, such as sharing the news.

🚨🚨New Paper Alert🚨🚨
We have a new paper out in Earth & Planetary Science Letters (#EPSL) entitled “Indian margin methane hydrate dissociation recorded in the carbon isotopes of benthic (Miliolida) foraminifera”
Main take home message: we have identified a group of #benthic #foraminifera (unicellular organisms living at the bottom of the #ocean) whose shell chemistry carries signatures of #methane dynamics within #marine #sediments.

Is anyone able to help me with these Foraminifera please? All from one plankton sample, North Sea, Norfolk Coast. Is it possible to get to family? Thanks!
