Google maps on foraminifera finds


Personalized google maps with flags on each locality of foram finds have been implemented. They have full functionality like zooming in and out, changing map-type ... A click on each flag opens an info-window from where a link leads to the locality-page with all images. Maps are available for the geological periods Carboniferous to recent. Please tell me, what you think about it and how it should be improved.

Paleozoic Foraminifera - 350 million years old



Dr. James E. Conkin and Prof. Barbara M. Conkin gave us specimens and images of Paleozoic foraminifera. Now we integrated some of their images of 350 Mio. year old foraminifera from the Lower Mississippian of Missouri and Illinois, USA. It is planned to work on more Paleozoic foraminifera, though the forms are primitive and not that beautiful as modern ones.

We are very grateful to Michael Popp running the Louisville Fossil Blog who arranged this valuable contact to the Conkins.
