Examples of the top 50 ranked foraminifera species from the NORI-D area by abundance. Foraminifera are single-celled protists (very simple micro-organisms) often called 'armoured amoebae' because they secrete a tiny shell (or 'test') of about 0.5millimeter - 1millimeter long. The scale bar for each example is 100 micrometers and all these individuals would fit on the tip of a pencil.
