Large Benthic Foraminifera (LBF) from the Bystřice nad Olší locality within the Menilite Formation of the Subsilesian Unit in the Outer Western Carpathians.
The LBF specimens were discovered in a massive limestone matrix, making extraction without damage impossible. While I have managed to obtain several equatorial sections, I have not yet been able to observe the test surfaces.
I would be extremely grateful if anyone could find some time to help me out with the identification of these specimens, given the challenges presented by the matrix. Even if a full identification isn't possible, any insights you could provide would be invaluable.
Thank you for your answer. Do You know what kind of species of the Nummulites are these? I think it is Asterocyclina. It is probably Eocene
Thank You so much for your time. Do You know someone who could help me with my work? Okey, that is interesting idea, thank you.
Dear Aneta
Good time
Theses fossils are Nummulites and may be belongs to Paleocene/ Eocene.
Thank You for your answer. Do You know what species are they? Or where I can find materials how to determine them to species?
Thank You for your time
I work on LF. These are certainly from the Eocene, to determine the species is not a simple task since we need to see usually both the surface and the equatorial section. If you want to contact me please write to [email protected]
