I am writing bachelor thesis on topic of Large Benthic Foraminifera from locality Březůvky (Czech Republic) in luhačovice strata, zlín formation, Rača unit, Magura group of Nappes.
I want to determine them to species level.
Could you please recommend me Professor of Large Benthic Foraminifera for contact about that issue?
Please look into standard LBF works by Prof Hans Schaub, Prof Blondeau and My own catalogue on LBF published in India in 2008. You may contact me on my email [email protected].
I will be back to India (currently in America) shortly to offer you material and technical help. Best wishes
The images provided here obviously belong to Nummulites species and orthophragminds, I am afraid based and axial and oblique sections provided they can not easily be determined to species level, except for equitorial section of Nummiltes which I assume needs biometric measurements of prolocus and the first 3 volutions, In addition to references suggested by Dr Shukla, the are numerous articles which you can refere to, conducted by different authors specially Prof. Georgy Less, which shows how to apply biometric methods for Nummulites species determination. Additionally, large proloculs of some axial sections of Nummulites species provided here, belongs to megalospheric generation of Nummulites, probably indicates Eocene age of these species. Also one of the orthophragminids images probably shows two broken ribs of the genus Asterocyclina, for more comprehensive information on orthophragminids and their biostratigraphic ranges you can refere to marvellous Atlas of Orthophragminids by late Prof. Ercan Özcan.
Hope this helps
With my best regards
