Foraminifera Gallery - illustrated catalog
Welcome to this illustrated Foraminifera Gallery or Foraminifera Catalog, which wants to build a link between science and community.
Send me your sand or rock sample and I will try to extract the forams and shoot images. Contact me

This project depends on both of you: Contribute as a scientist  /  Study foraminifera as a non-scientist
      
Foraminifera form a considerable part of Earth biomass and are in the fossil record since at least 542.000.000 B.C., but are mainly ignored by the public. This non-commercial project wants to foster the interest in these precious and basal form of life.
