A Study on the foraminifera distribution in the Gulf of Thailand

Fifteen bottom sediment samples from the Gulf of Thailand were examined for total (dead + living) foraminifera content. It was found that the seven most dominant species of foraminifera were Ammonia planktonic, Ammonia sp., Anomalina sp.,Elphidium sp., Planulina sp., Quinqueloculina sp. and Textular...
