Why would a species of ocean plankton coil its shells to the right for millions of years and then suddenly, flip to the left? To find out more see Flipping Plankton in PNAS www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... by Bridget Wade , Paul Pearson, David King and Valeria Luciani
Happy 100th Birthday Sir David Attenborough. Come visit the Foram Lab @es-ucl.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk again any time

We investigate the potential of using grain-size sorted marine sediments for biomarker analysis GDGT distributions are consistent regardless of grain-size sorting, and fine-grained sediment fract...
Abstract. Pulleniatina is a genus of planktonic foraminifera that is widely used in biostratigraphic and palaeoceanographic studies. In our taxonomy, it comprises six morphospecies, alphabetically P. ...
