Caesarea/Foraminifera
Foraminifera are testate unicellular animals (protozoans) that inhabit a wide variety of marine and marginal marine environments and have proven to be a very useful tool for paleoenvironmental analysis in the earth sciences and, more recently, in marine archaeology. Foraminifera may be omnivores, carnivores, herbivores, or detritivores and use pseudopodia, net-like extensions of protoplasm, to anchor, move, and retrieve food. [eng]

Foraminifera are single-celled organisms (called protists). Their distinguishing features are net-like pseudopods called reticulopodia, and (usually) some sort of organic or shell-like outer protective layer, called a test. They are a very ancient group of organisms, at least 550 million years old. [eng]

New species of paleogene deep-water agglutinated Foraminifera from the North Sea and Norwegian Sea
We describe the following five new taxa of agglutinated benthic foraminifera from Paleogene bathyal shales of the North Sea and Norwegian Sea: Annectina biedai n.sp. (Eocene-Oligocene), Reophanus berggreni n.sp. (Eocene-Lower Oligocene), Ammoanita ingerlisae n.sp. (lower part of upper Paleocene), Conotrochammina voeringensis n.sp. (Campanian-lower-middle Eocene), and Cystammina sveni n.sp. (Campanian-middle Eocene). Additionally, Conotrochammina whangaia Finlay is described from the Norwegian Sea region for the first time. Insculptarenula aff. subvesicularis in the Paleocene of the North Sea may be a new species in the plexus of Cretaceous through Paleogene globorotaliid-like trochamminids. [eng]

Species2000
Foraminifera in the following checklist pertain only to those in the New Zealand Exclusive Economic Zone. Single-letter codes indicate endemic species (E), apparently adventive species (A), species only present around the Kermadec Islands in the New Zealand area (K), new records for New Zealand (*) and species records unable to be confirmed in this review (#).

National Museum of Natural History - Paleobiology
The National Collection of Foraminifera. The National Museum of Natural History serves as the largest repository in the world of foraminiferal type specimens with over 16,000 primary type specimens (holotypes and paratypes), searchable on-line, with graphics and over 200,000 secondary type specimens. It represents probably three-fourths of all the type specimens of the American smaller foraminifera, nine-tenths of those of the American Mesozoic and Cenozoic larger foraminifera (an explanation), and a very large proportion of species from abroad that have been described in this country.

Norcott de Bisson Hornibrook
FROM A HUMBLE beginning in geology as a technician aged 18 with an oil company in Gisborne, Norcott Hornibrook rose to be a pre-eminent scientist who made major contributions to stratigraphic geology in New Zealand and abroad. His life is a remarkable example of focused research in which goals were identified early and pursued with great vigour and determination. The delights of discovery fascinated him, until his death, quite unexpectedly, on 18 April 1994. It was a life of great achievement. [eng]

Fabulous Foraminifera: examining past climates using microscopic marine organisms - NIWA
Foraminifera are single-celled marine animals possessing shells usually made of calcium carbonate. There are approximately 4000 benthonic (bottom-dwelling) species and about 40 planktonic (open ocean-dwelling) species living today. Because the open ocean is a relatively uniform environment, species diversity has remained quite low. Most planktonic species live in the upper 200 metres of the water column.

Stratigraphic distributions of some Neogene benthic foraminifera in New Zealand
The following links show distribution tables published in Hornibrook, N. deB.; Brazier, R.C.; Strong, C.P. 1989: Manual of New Zealand Permian to Pleistocene foraminiferal biostratigraphy. New Zealand Geological Survey paleontological bulletin 56. 175 p. Significant Cenozoic taxa arranged in order of appearance are shown in 6 tables. Generally, the authors have adjusted first and last occurrences to the nearest local stage boundary. [eng]
