Atlas of Paleogene Cosmopolitan Deep-water Agglutinated Foraminifera

by Michael A. Kaminski, Felix M. Gradstein and collaborators, 2005 as Grzybowski Foundation Special Publication 10, 547pp.

The Atlas is an excellent reference on deep-water agglutinated foraminifera not only for the Paleogene but the whole Cenozoic. Its 547 pages are loaded with high quality SEMs, drawings and detailed descriptions for each of the 130 species. The first 98 pages give most valuable and uptodate information on the understanding of deep-water agglutinated foraminifera: paleoecology, biostratigraphy and history of research. The book is well written and produced on high-quality, glossy paper as a hardcover in the big format of DINA4. The price is more than reasonable for such a publication. It should be part of any library on foraminifera. The Atlas may be ordered from the

Grzybowski Foundation
