Help with ID needed. This specimen is from the Tortonian (Miocene) of Northern Germany/Denmark. Is it Globigerinella obesa ?

Upper Cretaceous foraminifera from glacier-displaced strata near Rostock, Northeastern Germany. They were collected by Ralf-Rainer Schulz. We took the first images, which can be seen at foraminifera.eu/collection.p...

I found this planktic foraminifera in a Turonian slab. It was sheared off by glaciers, transported + dumped north of Berlin. Is it Archaeoglobigerina cretacea ? Maybe a professional can tell. // See foraminifera.eu/collection.p...

Foraminifera or just pseudofossil rock chips ???
I picked about 50 specimens from 10g of a disintegrate Jurassic shale. I think these are compressed agglutinated forams. Whats your opinion ? #foraminifera #microfossils #Jurassic #fossils #MarineLife #paleontology

I found several shallow water foraminifera as this Ammonia in a sand from the German Pre-Alps. They prove its marine origin from the Paratethys ocean. The Paratethys covered about 18mya ago vast areas north of the Alps. #foraminifera #MarineLife #fossils #microfossils #Miocene
