Planktonic foraminifera are key to understanding paleoclimate and plankton evolution, but their origins are unclear. Here, the authors use a molecular clock to suggest that benthic foraminifera dispersed in plankton and renew planktonic foraminifera ...

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 ...

Foraminifera associated with cold seeps in marine sediments
Cold seep foraminifera have attracted considerable attention as they provide valuable insights into the study of cold seeps. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the manifestations of foraminifera in cold seep environments and methane seepage ...

Development of freeze-thaw processing technique for disaggregation of indurated mudrocks and enhanced recovery of calcareous microfossils [PDF]
Microfossil extraction from indurated mudrocks is widely acknowledged as challenging, especially for foraminifera. Here we report development of the freeze–thaw extraction method through the addition of rapid heating, detergent and ultrasound stages.

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.

Testing the impact of diagenesis on the delta O-18 and delta C-13 of benthic foraminiferal calcite from a sediment burial depth transect in the equatorial Pacific [PDF]
Stable oxygen and carbon isotope (δ18O and δ13C) values measured in foraminiferal calcite are one of the primary tools used in paleoceanography. Diagenetic recrystallisation of foraminiferal calcite can act to reset primary isotopic values but its ...

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.
