Small Catalog
of Foraminifera Type Specimens

Welcome to our Catalog of Foraminifera Type Specimens with thumbnail images. Just click on one of the thumbnail images below and see a large image of the type specimen along with the pertinent specimen, citation and locality data. Each of these images was captured using our Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope. This is just the beginning of a more extensive project. We plan, in the very near future, to present a searchable database of microfossil type specimens that includes ESEM images of each specimen.
