Photographic Print : Foraminiferan fossil, SEM
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Foraminiferan fossil, SEM
Foraminiferan fossil. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the fossilised shell (test) of a foraminiferan. Foraminifera are single-celled marine protozoa that construct and inhabit a calcium carbonate shell composed of several chambers. The shells form an important component of chalk. In past geological ages, foraminifera were so numerous that their shells have formed immense fossil deposits, seen today as limestone. This fossil was found in chalk laid down in the Cretaceous period, between 142 and 65 million years ago, at Rochester, Kent, UK. Magnification: x250 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Foraminiferan fossil, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image beautifully displays the intricate details of the fossilized shell (test) of this single-celled marine protozoa. Foraminifera construct and inhabit calcium carbonate shells composed of multiple chambers, which are an essential component of chalk. In ancient geological times, these tiny creatures were so abundant that their shells formed vast deposits, now seen as limestone. This particular fossil was discovered in chalk laid down during the Cretaceous period between 142 and 65 million years ago in Rochester, Kent, UK. The photograph's magnification at x250 when printed at 10 centimeters wide allows us to appreciate the fine features and delicate structure of this remarkable specimen. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of foraminifera and highlights their significant contribution to geology and paleontology. With its vibrant colors and meticulous detail, this image is not only visually stunning but also serves as a valuable resource for scientific research in fields such as zoology, biology, geology, and more. It captures nature's artistry frozen in time—a testament to the wonders waiting to be discovered within our planet's rich history.
