Chukhonastovka – the reference section of the Turonian-Lower Santonian from the Volga-Ilovlya interfluve (the Volga right bank area near Volgograd). Paper 2. Characteristics of the Oryctocomplexes [PDF]
A representative complex of the Turonian-Santonian carbonate-producing invertebrates has been revealed. It comprised benthic foraminifers, diverse echinoderms, brachiopods, calcareous and siliceous sponges.

Calcification acidifies the microenvironment of a benthic foraminifer (Ammonia sp.) [PDF]
Calcareous foraminifera are well known for their CaCO3 shells. Yet, CaCO3 precipitation acidifies the calcifying fluid. Calcification without pH regulation would therefore rapidly create a negative feedback for CaCO3 precipitation. In unicellular organisms, like foraminifera, an effective mechanism to counteract this acidification could be the ...

Oligocene and Lower Miocene sediments of the Lučenec Depression were studied to demonstrate the planktonic bioevents and climatic proxies from the Číž Formation (Rupelian) and Lučenec Formation (Chattian-Aquitanian) on the basis of quantitative analyses ...

Benthic foraminifers at methane seepages, independently of their taxa and microhabitat preferences, have lower value of d13С than those found in other sites, that’s why these species potentially could be used as bioindicators of methane emission. Species

A note on the laboratory culture of the benthic foraminifer Cornuloculina balkwilli (MacFadyen) [PDF]
Genetic studies of the Foraminifera provide valuable insights into marine speciation and biogeography, yet the discovery of vitally needed new genetic markers for this important group is being severely limited by an extreme lack of genetic data.

A new evidence of passing the Maastichtian–Paleocene boundary by larger benthic foraminifers: The case of Elazigina from the Maastrichtian Tarbur Formation of Iran [PDF]
We describe a new Maastrichtian species of the benthic foraminifer Elazigina siderea from Tarbur Formation. Its main characters are the presence of heavy feathered umbilical sutures, a wide umbilical plug, and umbilical piles.

Investigating crystal orientation patterns of foraminiferal tests by electron backscatter diffraction analysis [PDF]
We studied the crystallographic orientation of calcite crystals in benthic foraminifers by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Individuals of two species, Gyroidinoides soldanii and Cibicidoides grimsdalei, featuring different test structures, were ...

Light Impacts Mg Incorporation in the Benthic Foraminifer Amphistegina lessonii [PDF]
The ratio of Mg to Ca in foraminiferal calcium carbonate (Mg/Cacc) is a popular tool to reconstruct past sea water temperatures. Its application is being complicated by other environmental factors affecting the Mg/Cacc, including salinity and the ratio between sea water [Mg2+] and [Ca2+]. Furthermore, there is considerable intra-specimen variability in
