#ForamFriday with Globorotalia tosaensis! This species of planktic #foraminifera lived from about 2.6 to 0.6 million years ago, and preferred tropical to subtropical waters. G. tosaensis is important in biostratigraphy, using fossils to tell the age of #sediments!
ALT Eight images of planktic foraminifera, which look like tiny croissants. The text reads: Foram Friday: Globorotalia tosaensis. A planktic (floating in the surface ocean) foraminifera. First evolved in the Pliocene (~2.6 million years ago), went extinct in the Pliocene (0.6 million years ago). Prefers tropical to temperate waters. Is an important species to tell the age of sediments!
