This single-celled foraminifera is all kinds of fascinating. Sometimes called armored amoebae, forams build shells for themselves and then send out extensions of their cells through holes in the shell to move and feed. Therefore, it makes sense that they are called “foraminifera”, meaning the “hole-bearers”. The shell composition can vary with species but this one is made from calcium carbonate. When the foram dies, the soft body will decompose while the hard shell is often fossilized – there ar

This is a foraminiferan, a single-celled organism extending its cell like a spider web to capture food in real-time. . Foraminifera are fascinating organisms, they form shell-like structures to hide their soft cell inside and those shells can be as big as a coin and can get fossilized. When the Greek geographer Strabo was visiting Egypt in the 1st century BCE, he saw foraminifera fossils in the pyramids’ stones and thought those were petrified beans in stone that had been left from the meals of

This ammonite-like organism on the top left is actually a single-celled organism, a foraminifera, and you can see the cell extensions. . Foraminifera are so beautiful, and they have been around for like 600 million years. Their evolution is something scientists use for identifying the age of the rocks. When they die, their inorganic “shells” get fossilized and since we already know what species lived when, and what the shell looks like, we can guess the age of the rocks without needing any expen
