Adrian sends sand
in the mail these days was a little box from Adrian, UK - a long time contributor to the Foraminifera.eu project.
The box contains a couple of small bags with sand. A closer look through the binocular reveals that these sands mainly consist of shells, tests and fragments of bigger organism-remnants. These sands are rich in foraminifera. My estimate is that there are hundreds if not thousands of forams in each tiny bag.
The forams lived once in Scotland, Tenerife, Malta, Crete and Bermuda.
It gives us a lot to find und to have fun.
Great job Adrian !
