Planktic Foraminifers in the Modern Ocean

Abstract

Tests of varying complexity represent the most obvious and persistent visual expression of the overall planktic foraminifer morphology. Consequently, understanding the biological processes and environmental controls involved in the formation and deposition of the planktic foraminifer shell is of major interest to any related discipline, including marine biogeochemistry, sedimentology, biostratigraphy, and paleoceanography.
