Abstract
Planktonic and benthonic foraminiferal tests from modem tropical-subtropical marine environments were investigated with regard to bioerosional traces. The traces found on the foraminiferal tests were grouped into 7 different categories. It is suggested that the different traces may be related to different unknown predators of which at least one is planktonic.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin publishes contributions of international interest in all fields of geological sciences on results of new work on material from Denmark, the Faroes and Greenland. Contributions based on other material may also be submitted to the Bulletin if the subject is of relevance for the geology of the area of primary interest.
