Abstract
Systematic classification and accurate identification of benthic foraminifera has been a keystone for the reconstruction of paleoceanography. However, general identification books on benthic foraminifera from the China Seas are very limited. Many Chinese geologists in old generation, for example, Yan He, Yi Chun Hao, Pin Xian Wang, etc., had made great contributions to foraminiferal research on the China Seas. With the evolution of foraminiferal taxonomy and application of molecular studies, there is a need to summarize the characteristics of foraminiferal fauna from China Seas and to report to the world. The book series “Atlas of Benthic Foraminifera from China Seas” shouldered the burden of connecting research achievements from the old generation of Chinese geologists to the modern understanding on foraminiferal taxonomy. The present book concerning on the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea fauna is the first part of this book series on the China Seas.
