Full Description

This text reproduces the colour plates from one of the standard references on the foraminifera (the 1884 "Challenger Report"). The taxonomic information is revised and very complete, including locality details and comments on the status of specimens. This revision has particular application in increasing geological understanding and in reducing technical risk in petroleum exploration. It should be of value to palaeontologists (academic and industrial, especially the petroleum industry), geologists, oceonographers, marine biologists, and historians of science.
