The study of the Foraminifera of the strata adjacent to the lithologic contact between the Austin and Taylor Groups (Upper Cretaceous) in north Texas is part of a program to determine what significant ...
Three new species of benthic foraminifera are described from Holocene cores in the Queen Charlotte-Hecate Strait region of coastal British Columbia. Lagena fidicularia n. sp. is characterized by deep ...
Microscopic fossils of aquatic creatures, dating back hundreds of millions of years, could help clear up mysteries about how we evolved. Evolutionary ecologist, Dr Thomas Ezard, is undertaking an ...
Benthic foraminifera are widely used as paleoenvironmental proxies because of their high sensitivity to environmental changes and excellent preservation potential in sediment. Affected by global ...
