Biostratigraphy, microfacies analysis and depositional environment of the Bartonian–Priabonian limestones in Shan-Abad anticline (west of Rafsanjan) [PDF]
The Middle–Late Eocene carbonate deposits have developed in the Shan-Abad anticline as a thin belt among volcanic rocks. The nummulite banks are one of the most interesting deposits in this belt and composed of nummulite accumulations in the form of ...

The biology and ecology of benthic foraminifera inhabiting intertidal mudflats [PDF]
Benthic foraminifera inhabiting the mudflats of the Eden Estuary, NE Scotland, exhibited a single annual peak in abundance at both high (270 individuals 10 cm⁻²) and low shore (210 individuals 10 cm⁻²) intertidal sampling stations during June 2000 ...

Stratigraphy of Lower Carboniferous "Kazanskoe pleso" section (Unya River, Northern Urals) [PDF]
New data on the stratigraphy of Carboniferous section in the middle reaches of the Unya River (Northern Urals) are presented. Based on the study of foraminifera and calcareous algae, the Visean and Early Serpukhovian ages has been established.

Oxygen isotope ecology of recent planktic foraminifera at the central Walvis Ridge (SE Atlantic) [PDF]
Above the Walvis Ridge, in the SE Atlantic Ocean, we collected living plantkic foraminifera from the upper water column using depth stratified plantkon tows. The oxygen isotope composition (

Eocene foraminiferal biofacies in Kutch Basin (India) in context of palaeoclimate and palaeoecology
The Eocene Epoch passed through multiple hyperthermal events and recorded highest temperatures in the Cenozoic. Very few studies from Eocene palaeotropical sites have recorded changes in shallow marine foraminiferal assemblages.

Technical Note: Determination of the metabolically active fraction of benthic foraminifera by means of Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH) [PDF]
Benthic foraminifera are an important component of the marine biota, but protocols for investigating their viability and metabolism are still extremely limited.
