Description: The white agglutinating foraminifera is Pyrgo sp. and the brown agglutinating foraminifera is Cribrostomoides subglobosum. The latter made made up about 98% of the sieved macrofauna samples (sieved on a 0.50 mm sieve) at Dalsnuten. Item Type: Image Title: Pyrgo sp. Copyright: SERPENT project Species: Pyrgo sp. Site: Atlantic -- Norwegian -- Dalsnuten Site Description: Seafloor Depth (m): 1452 Latitude: 66 deg 34' 33" N Longitude: 3 deg 32' 46" E Countries: Norway -- Norwegian Sector Habitat: Benthic Rig: Aker Barents Project Partners: Shell, Aker Drilling, Oceaneering ROV: Magnum 142 Deposited By: Dr K Kroeger Deposited On: 24 June 2011

Biloculina comata.

The Latin word "glomus" means "a ball of yarn". Glomospira species make a test that has a single chamber in the center, surrounded by a very long tubular second chamber that winds around it. Sample collected in an inlet of the Oslofjord, Norway. Image courtesy of Elisabeth Alve, University of Oslo. Originally published in J. Foram. Res. 16: 261-284; used with permission.

Extreme macro: take a good binocular microscope, a good camera and just focus your microfossils ;)

Live individual of the foraminiferan Sorites dominicensis attached to a blade of turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum) from Belize

Live individuals of the foraminiferans Archaias angulatus and one specimen of Coscinospira (=Peneroplis) antillarum from Belize

Holotype, subequatorial section. Scale bar is 0.1mm

Specimens were isolated from surface sediments samples collected in Kongsfjorden, Isfjorden and Adventfjorden during the cruise of r/v « Oceania » between 22 July and 2 August 2004. The sediment samples were sieved at 500 um and 125 um sized meshes, and living specimens were picked under dissecting microscope on board. The specimens were photographed, measured and fixed for further DNA extraction. Source: http://www.iopan.gda.pl/projects/biodaff/EMBS-06.html
