I will stick to lakes and find the odd #forams in sediment samles for #citizenscience in my comfortable study or living room.
😊 However I can imagine the euforia when the unexplored becomes visible under the microscope.

Shelly sediment of the Norwich Crag. A mixture of orangey-yellow sand and white and russet brown debris of fossil bivalve and gastropod shells, etc. Cockle shells are visible in the middle of the picture

A sieved sample of tiny gastropod shells - perhaps Hydrobia ulvae - from the Crag, magnified 16 times. Perhaps suggesting that mud flats were not far away.

New samples of shelly Norwich Crag sediment from the Waveney valley, Norfolk, UK, perhaps 1.5 m yrs old. A Crag site new to science and rich in fossils #barnacles #bivalves #forams #gastropods. Sadly samples were extracted from below quarry water level so field relationships uncertain. #Pleistocene

I saw this cool #starterpack trend all over insta & wanted to join in 🤓 here is my #noiastarterpack version to become a cool #Micropaleontologist & look for really small fossils in earth's rocks to unravel earth's deepst secrets 🔎🔬🐚👩🏻‍🔬🌊

A Globigerina bulloides with a brand new chamber and a shell surrounded by or covered in small round vacuoles. There is debris in the spines here, typically a sign the forams is not doing well. They usually clear debris quickly. There was cytoplasm streaming on the spines, so it was definitely still alive. The shell is very thin.

These are some very unhappy Globigerina bulloides #Forams. I have no idea what is going on here. Are they decalcifying? What are the vacuoles around the specimen? Until this field season, I had never observed this. These were also in the high CO2 "bad water". Has anyone observed this before?

I just found what I thought were deleted photos from our 2023 field season of #forams grown in "The Bad Water" (pCO2 = 800ppm). The forams weren't happy, but the symbionts were! Here, we captured the moment the organic template formed in the final chamber of Orbulina universa for #transcriptomics

One of my fave agglutinated #foraminifera Recurvoidella bradyi (Robertson, 1891; superseded Haplophragmoides bradyi) x180 from Loch Sunart, Scotland. Amazes me how #forams are so particular about grain mineralogy & size. This one has a smooth, shiny test of tiny grains & is usually a browny-orange.
