Abstract

Planktonic foraminifera are marine protozoa with a calcareous and chambered test. The group evolved since the late Early Jurassic; and from the mid-Cretaceous onward, it has significantly proliferated and became a major component of oceanic oozes. Planktonic foraminifera phylogeny often is closely linked to paleoceanographic turnover events, and its detailed biostratigraphy contributes significantly to Earth's geologic history.
