@OrbulinasDad I never thought this day would come after you tossed my baby into the trash during the inaugural #ForamCup
#Foramcup #foramWeek has us smiling because one of our favorites, Globigerinoides ruber, is still in the ring!

WOW, exciting Foram Cup action Wednesday. Giant cell Xenophyrophoria spp. AND the Pyramids of Giza are both OUT and therefore EXTINCT. Round Boi Orbulina universa is gone off to the mass spec in the sky. No time to mourn, though, here's your Sweet Sixteen:
The #ForamCup is also back for 2020, hosted by the awesome @Clowery806 😃🏆
Watch our ecological niche for more information!
Wow, one of my past interns decided to make foraminifera origami and he had the NERVE to make an Orbulina even after they beat truncats out of the #ForamCup
The tweet that started it all. Thank you, thank you to @rehemat_ and @ForamWhisperer for helping #ForamWeek become a reality. Thank you to @OrbulinasDad for making the #ForamCup a huge success. And thank you to @Lauraminifera for sharing the LBF love! #ForamsVsSharkWeek
1 Planulina wuellerstorfi vs 6 R. cushmani. WHO YA GOT?
Well I wouldn't have predicted of all the planktics, O. universa has made it to the Final Four round of #ForamCup. But here we goooo!!! #TeamNeogene
Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, like this beauty here, are the most important foraminifera for reconstructing Arctic and Antarctic climate change. #votepachy #rhizopodialikewoah #ForamWeek #foramcup
Next, the unstoppable cinderella 16 Neogloboquadrina pachyderma vs. the only extinct species still extant in this tournament 6 Rotalipora cushmani
Hmmmm have a feeling we really should have put these out and finished foram design for the #MinCup2019 and the #foramcup... Time to plan our release order for the next year with this in mind, @FBabarovic. Maybe I can add winners too 🤔
Hastigerina digitata is one of the only planktic foraminifera to have bene observed in the Oxygen Minimum Zone. Plus it looks like a cool alien. Don't be blinded by the pink! Vote H. digitata in the #foramcup
Next, the only foram with color, 11 Globigerinoides ruber (pink) goes up against the most digitate foram of the Neogene, 2 Hastigerinella digitata
Raida is coiling left today in support of N. pachyderma. Don't let her down! Vote for N. pachyderma in the #foramcup
16 Neogloboquadrina pachyderma vs. 8 Globigerinoidesella fistulosa
Now that we’ve tweeted out some cool foram images thru our #ForamCup we’re highlighting *WHY* forams are marvelous. We have, in part, built the geologic time scale using the evolution and extinction events of planktic (floating) foraminifera. This is called biostratigraphy.
The week we have all been waiting for! Don't forget to vote for N. pachyderma in the #foramcup
It's FINALLY Foram Week!!!
There’s another competition going?! If you can’t get enough of learning about new things and polls...go learn about Forams with these guys! #foramcup #foramweek
If these forams have made you go “omg that’s really cool!” Check out @ForamWeek ! I’m helping to run this with some foram friends from the US (@foramfriday @ForamWhisperer @CLowery806 ) next week and we have started with a #foramcup!
Don't forget to follow the @ForamWeek account for all things protist next week! Currently, there's a #ForamCup ongoing, so be sure to stay tuned in and vote for your favorite species!!
#FollowFriday with ForamWeek! Scheduled for Sept. 9-13, 2019 (and held annually thereafter), this social media event will highlight the awesomeness of #foraminifera, single-celled protists that make up the base of the food chain! Follow along for videos, images, & tons of facts!
