Did you know…
Foraminifers exhibit a wide diversity of feeding and behavioral strategies, including kleptoplastidy, where they retain intact functional chloroplasts from their microalgal food source?

Happy #FossilFriday and #ForamFriday. 🐚 It's also 🎃 #Halloween!
🔬 This week's #ForamFact: Bioerosion 👻
🌊🔦 Did you know that some holes in planktonic foraminifera shells were created by predators and parasites (a process known as bioerosion)? 🌊
This material (cf. map) covers a time frame from 1910 to nowadays.

Warming forams...
Did you know that planktonic foraminiferal communities have shifted away from their pre-industrial state?
Did you know about …
The evolution of Trochamminoids ?
In this study authors describe 5 new species of organic-cemented agglutinated foraminifera from the Lower Permian of Western Australia that do not secrete a calcium-carbonatecomponent for their test

Did you know…
The combined annual CaCO3 production from benthic and planktic foraminifera reaches 1.4 billion tons, contributing to nearly 25% of the current oceanic carbonate production.

Did you know agglutinated benthic foraminifera can be highly selective?
🌊 At IODP site U1482 (Exp. 363), northwestern Australian margin, some fragments of Rhabdammina sp. are constructed exclusively with bioclasts of …
Happy late #ForamFriday our #ForamFact of the week is:
Did you know that Planktic and Benthic foraminífera had a distinct response throughout the Aptian-Albian boundary?
Interestingly, they found that “eco-friendly” sunscreens affected the health of foraminifera more severely compared to “conventional” ones.

#ForamFact
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) can be used to measure surface morphological parameters which helped in the comparison of two species of Ammonia, identifying pore depth to be species specific. AFM allows estimation of 3D measurements. Read more: https://t.co/AbmBKzpfhg
