Hi, @delwin-glasner – if you collected this specimen out with us in the field I believe the formation should be Ocala rather than Coosawhatchie and the epoch would be Eocene. Maybe @samantha-ocon can confirm that information and the identificaiton information? Talk to you soon, Jen
That’s not what I was told after the field trip in the classroom
We were physically *in* the Coosawhatchie formation but I think the foraminifera are sourced from the Ocala Limestone, which is Eocene in age. @jeanette-pirlo or @vperez can confirm, since I’m less familiar with the local stratigraphy.
Hello, @jbauer is correct. The creek had all three ages that you listed (Oligocene, Miocene, and Pleistocene), but the forams come from the Eocene Ocala Limestone Formation.
I’am not totally convinced of the I.D. without slicing, Please take a look at this link -http://www.foraminifera.eu/single.php?no=1000128&aktion=suche
That’s fair – I think furthering the ID can be quite hard in foraminifera. For some reason I am unable to reach foraminifera.eu on my work computer – it is possibly blocked by the secure wifi. I will check it out when I get home this evening.
