Benthic Foraminifera
Here are some images of the forams that I have been looking for within my research.
Week two research update
Here is a graph of the XRF results from scanning core section 4/8 for any traces of Manganese. Manganese survives in anoxic conditions and thus corresponds to the anoxic layers within the core. These layers appear to have some forams present within them.
Baltic Sea sediment core - section 4/8
Here is an image of the 4th out of 8 1m sections of the core I am working on.
Week one research update
In week one of my research, we split the Baltic Sea core, took samples and began to look into the samples to see if there were any abundances of forams present in the core layers. The initial samples we took were 20g samples from 1cm wide sections.
