Description: A collection of photographs of members of the Foramenifera with information about each.
Foraminifera, or 'forams' as they are often called, are small marine creatures that build a delicate house (called 'test') from chalk. Although they resemble molluscs they are in fact single cellular protists, but they can be quite large for organisms with only one cell. The largest forams are more than 10 centimetres wide. The pyramids of Egypt are made of stone cantaining these creatures. The forams in this gallery are up to 2mm. and were collected from beaches around the Mediterranean sea. Some are fossils, some are recent bethnic living on the sea bed and others are recent but planktonic in life style, floating about in the upper seawater.
