Different Facts All About Foraminifera

By Barbara Ross


Foram was not that famous to anyone, only those who study knows about this. This is something which only a few of our population knows about, how complex it is and why it exists. Here is some information about Foraminifera and also how it came into being.

Forams are organisms that have a single cell with shells or tests. They are known to be abundant fossils for more than 500 years ago. The shells that they contain are mainly divided into for chamber that is developed during their growth period. The components that the shell has depends on what kind of species it is.

They could grow up to 20 centimeters and the least will be 100 micrometers. Their relationship with other algae is interdependent with each other, they fed mostly from this microscopic animals. They also eat some other small organisms that live in other aquatic places.

The estimated species of forams range up to 4,000, all of these are found among all the oceans in the globe. Forty of these species are planktonic or has the ability to float on waters. Other species can be found on the deepest area of an ocean, areas such as the sands, among the mud, rocks, and even the living plants in the water. They are commonly known to survive in marine environments, even the tropical parts of the world.

Forams are one of the most bountiful shelled organism in all aquatic places. A measure of 1 cubic centimeter of sediment can hold hundreds of living species, and other dead of such kind. Many parts of ocean floors are made up of dead forams from the planktonic types.

They were regarded as a very important component of certain sediments. The pink beaches that are located in Bermuda would be an example. What brings the pink color to some sands of other beaches are the foram shells, which are red in color.

The way they were classified is according to what characteristics their shell has. It is according to what their wall is mostly comprised of, the chamber shape and also how they are arranged, the apertures appearance, some other feature that they have. There are still ongoing examinations that would help to bring more classification of such kind.

Since it has always been easy to collect from those who study it, it is a great help to show some evidence of other similar aquatic rocks that existed long ago. The scientists used this type to further study other things that could have evolved during the past, that caused others to exist. Forams were a good representation in order to prove theories about certain evolutions that could have happened in recent years.

Right now in the present, this species has been a good help in most people, some are still unknown to us. The other reasons why they were made are still on the process of being known. Experts are still discovering some other ways why they are important, and if they can still be used for the next generation.
