Forams are super cute, but some of them are just spooky 🎃Did you know some forams make their shells gluing “skeletons” of other fossils?

Ocean acidity has increased by ~30% over pre-Industrial levels due to the uptake of anthropogenic CO2. Pteropods, “sea butterflies,” are planktonic snails that are sensitive to these changes. Scientists have found that their shells are getting thinner & are dissolving, especially at high latitudes.
