Modern planktic foraminifers in the high-latitude ocean

open access: yes, 2017
Planktic foraminifers can be sensitive indicators of the changing environment including both the Arctic Ocean and Southern Ocean. Due to variability in their ecology, biology, test characteristics, and fossil preservation in marine sediments, they serve ...

Palaeobiogeographical constraints on the distribution of foraminifers and rugose corals in the Carboniferous Tindouf Basin, South Morocco

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2013
The northern flank of the Tindouf Syncline in southern Morocco exhibits a continuous, well exposed Carboniferous succession with limestones of Late Asbian to Early Bashkirian age containing rich and diverse foraminiferal and rugose coral assemblages ...

Phenotypic Evolution in a Cretaceous Foraminifer [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1982
Statistically well-documented sequences of fossil species are rare, as has been observed, for example, by Eldredge and Gould (1972), Boucot (1978) and Dodson and Hallam (1977). Rapid advances in theoretical paleontology made over the last few years have, however, made it imperative that the many new and exciting theories we now have at our disposal be ...

A new evidence of passing the Maastichtian-Paleocene boundary by larger benthic foraminifers: the case of Elazigina from the Maastrichtian Tarbur Formation of Iran

open access: yes, 2018
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.

The Middle Carboniferous Boundary in the North of Pay-Khoy – Correlation between the Shallow- and Deep-Water Sequences [PDF]

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2017
The paper considers the Lower-Middle Carboniferous boundary interval in the sections of the Pay-Khoy carbonate parautochthone (shallow-water facies) and the Kara slate allochthone (deep-water facies) with respect to the boundary tracing criteria.

New results of microfaunal and geochemical investigations in the Permian–Triassic boundary interval from the Jadar Block (NW Serbia)

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2018
Detail results of microfaunal, sedimentological and geochemical investigations are documented from a newly discovered section of the Permian–Triassic boundary (PTB) interval in the area of the town of Valjevo (northwestern Serbia).

Evidence for complete denitrification in a benthic foraminifer [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2006
Benthic foraminifera are unicellular eukaryotes found abundantly in many types of marine sediments. Many species survive and possibly reproduce in anoxic habitats, but sustainable anaerobic metabolism has not been previously described. Here we demonstrate that the foraminifer Globobulimina pseudospinescens accumulates intracellular nitrate stores and ...

The Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary in the Mezdra and Lyutidol syncline, Vratza District (West-Fore Balkan, Bulgaria) [PDF]

open access: yesGeološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2006
This paper discusses the unjustified assignment (based on calcareous nannofossils) of a large portion of the Maastrichtian strata in the Mezdra and Lyutidol synclines (West Fore Balkan, Bulgaria) to the Paleogene.

LITHOLOGICAL AND MINERALOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF CARBONATE ROCKS IN THE UPPER TOURNAISIAN SUBSTAGE AT THE ALEKSEEVSKY OIL FIELD

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Нефть и газ, 2018
At the present stage of the development of geological sciences more detailed lithological and petrographic studies become more important. Microscopic studies of core material in the Upper Taurus substage made it possible to isolate the lithotypes of ...

An Aberrant Foraminifer [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1871
I CHANCED upon an aberrant form of Peneroplis the other day, in which the free terminal series of chambers of this Foraminifer, ordinarily single, is constricted into two distinct tubes.
