Michael Hesemann<p>Today I found this planktonic foraminifera in a Turonian slab. It was sheared off by glaciers somewhere, transported and eventually dumped north of Berlin. Is it Archaeoglobigerina cretacea ? Maybe a professional can tell. // See more at <a href="https://foraminifera.eu/collection.php?collname=Ralf-Rainer+Schulz&aktion=suche" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">foraminifera.eu/collection.php</span><span class="invisible">?collname=Ralf-Rainer+Schulz&aktion=suche</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/foraminifera" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>foraminifera</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microfossils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microfossils</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fossils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fossils</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/paleontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paleontology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/micropaleontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>micropaleontology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Cretaceous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Cretaceous</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/microscope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microscope</span></a></p>
