Foram from Carnsew Pool to identify (2)
A planktonic species of foraminifera - Falmouth. 19.04.16.
Further information on Foraminifera can be found on the Foraminifera Gallery. (External Link)
Information can be found on the above website on sampling; and on Foraminifera that have been previously found in the United Kingdom and English Channel.
Michael Hesemann of the Foraminifera Gallery states there may be over 50 species of Foraminifera to be found in shell sand around the coast of Cornwall, and even more offshore.
