These days we have passed the 23,000 mark in our database. A big thank you to our contributors from all over the world for sending sediments, specimens, images and help with identifications. #foraminifera #microfossils #fossils #paleontology #MarineLife #MarineScience

Foraminifera or just pseudofossil rock chips ???
I picked about 50 specimens from 10g of a disintegrated Jurassic shale. I think these are compressed agglutinated forams. Whats your opinion ? #foraminifera #microfossils #Jurassic #fossils #MarineLife #paleontology

I found several shallow water foraminifera as this Ammonia in a sand from the German Pre-Alps. They prove its marine origin from the Paratethys ocean. The Paratethys covered about 18mya ago vast areas north of the Alps. #foraminifera #MarineLife #fossils #microfossils #Miocene

Today under the microscope aged ~155.000.000 years old: The foraminifera Epistomina ornata (I think) from the Kimmeridgian, Dorset coast, UK. See more at https://foraminifera.eu/single.php?no=1025377&aktion=suche

Some Cambrian planktonic green algae made colonial geometric aggregations as a defense mechanism against the predation/grazing by planktonic animals. A selection drive toward greater size and complexity?

For our Catalog of modern Greater North Sea foraminifera we found this Homalohedra williamsoni. Send us your material to fill gaps: www.foraminifera.eu/cns.php #foraminifera #ForamFriday

@VQuaschning ob die gebetsmühlenartige und einseitige Schuldzuweisung an die böse Regierung die richtige Strategie ist ? Wer füllt die Flieger, kauft immer größere Autos, lebt auf immer mehr Quadratmeter und will Freiheit bei der Heizungsanlage ? Das sind doch WIR ! Nur 15% wählen grün? 85 % nicht. Das mantrahafte, undifferenzierteHacken auf der Regierung hilft einer Partei besonders: der AFD. Die ist auch vehement gegen die Regierung. Willkommen im Club !

@shidenotori For drawing own maps and importing others with exact coordinates I use the free Qgis. It took me just a couple of days to walk thru video tutorials and draw my map with features, legend, overview map in the Lay-out I wanted. Before I didn’t know much about GIS at all, just were told, that Qgis is almost as powerful as ArcGis, but free. Qfield is a plug-in.

Together with the Etches Collections in Kimmeridge we work on foraminifera from the Kimmeridge Formation. As a first step we build an illustrated list of species, so far in open nomenclature: https://foraminifera.eu/loc.php?locality=Chapmans+Pool // #foraminifera #Jurassic #micropaleontology #fossil #paleontology

@georgloesel Zur Info: Lindner und Co. machen Politik für die, die sie wählen. Das nennt man dann Demokratie, wo 15% eben nicht die Mehrheit sind. Ob in einer Diktatur die Grünen an der Macht wären, darf bezweifelt werden, also müssen wir halt für eine Mehrheit kämpfen. Sorry fuer die Arbeit, Demokratie ist anstrengend. Mit Schimpferei ist nichts gewonnen ..
