This project depends on both of you: Contribute as a scientist  /  Study foraminifera as a non-scientist

powerful database
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 forms of life.
