Foraminifera; ClassificationAbstract
Eighty species and morphological varieties of agglutinated
benthic foraminifera were identified in sediments from the HEBBLE Site
(4800 m depth) and the HEBBLE Shallow Site (4185 m) on the lower
Nova Scotian Continental Rise. Details of their morphology and
classification are included in descriptions of each species, and
representative specimens are illustrated using SEM, light microscopy,
and X-radiography.

Meridional overturning circulation in the South Atlantic at the last glacial maximum
(American Geophysical Union, 2006-10-03)The geostrophic shear associated with the meridional overturning circulation is reflected in the difference in density between the eastern and western margins of the ocean basin. Here we examine how the density difference ... -
Deciphering isotopic signals of monsoon-induced upwelling in foraminifera from the Western Arabian sea sediment trap
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1997-03)Isotopic analyses have been made on four species of foraminifera collected with a PARFLUX Mark VI sediment trap in the Arabian Sea during the 1986 and 1987 monsoons. Two of the species are non-spinose thermocline dwellers ... -
Active eukaryotes in microbialites from Highborne Cay, Bahamas, and Hamelin Pool (Shark Bay), Australia
(2013-06-26)Microbialites are organosedimentary structures that are formed through the interaction of benthic microbial communities and sediments and include mineral precipitation. These lithifying microbial mat structures include ...
