This is a Miocene limestone thin section and the specimens is probably belongs to the larger benthic foraminiferal group.
it looks like Alveolina sp.,
Borehole spacing optimisation is a tricky job in mineral exploration even in case of regular grids. As we progress from reconnaitory to exploratory to evaluation stages of drilling, we collect...
