Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Index to the Genera and Species of the Foraminifera Systematic work on Foraminifera during the past forty years has received a tremendous impulse from their economic value, especially that concerned with the search for petroleum and more recently with ecologic and paleoecologic studies. At present there is a larger number of paleontologists actively engaged in foraminiferal studies than is specializing in any other group of the invertebrates. Because of the daily increasing volume of published material, it is difficult to keep abreast of nomenclatural changes in current work.

This book was released on 2018-11-17 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of the Foraminifera That our work will prove altogether satisfactory, either to the scientific or to the general reader, is more than we can venture to anticipate. Those who look for precise definitions will not find them here, for the simple reason that the conclusion has been forced upon us that s/mrply defined dz'visz'ons - whether between species, genera, families, or orders - do no! Ewz'st amony Fommz'm'fem. And we are satisfied that any one whose study of the group shall have been coextensive with our own must be ready to this extent to endorse our results. It has been our aim, therefore, to set forth (so to speak) the fundamental idea of each of the generic types we have adopted, rather than to attempt a precise limitation of its boundaries. That some of our generic distinctions may be invalidated by more extended research, is just as likely as that new generic types may present themselves among the collections from ocean beds yet unexplored, or from geological formations as yet unscrutinised. The whole study of this group must still be regarded as in its infancy; and the utmost that we can hope for thislntroduction is, that it may help to give'a mm; direction to that'study. We have the fullest confidence in the correctness of our general principles; and shall not shrink from the consequences of their application to our own work, however large a part of it may thereby be superseded by something better. I have endeavoured throughout my own scientific career to keep in view the noble character given by Schiller of the true philosopher, as distinguished from the trader in science, that he has always loved truth better than his system and will gladly exchange her old and defective form for a new and fairer one. And the readiness with which my coadjutors have accepted my amendments in the instances already alluded to, affords the fullest assurance of their thorough participation with me in the desire, not only that whatever is defective in our joint work may be supplied, but that what is unsound may be demolished, since what shall remain really good and true will then afford a firmer basis for the future labours of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foraminifera: Their Classification and Economic Use The classification here used is practically that given in the preliminary outline. It is based upon the known geologic his tory of the genera, upon the phylogenetic characters through a study of much fossil material and finally by a study of the ontogeny in very many microspheric specimens which show the relationships much more definitely than do the megalospheric specimens of the same species.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies with the foraminiferida have often been hindered by widely scattered, inaccessible sources. This two-volume reference (text in one volume, plates in the other) examines 3,568 of the world's generic taxa, representing all geologic ages. Covering twice the number of genera as any other available reference, it is by far the most complete source on the foraminiferida.

This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Synopsis of the Arctic and Scandinavian Recent Marine Foraminifera Hitherto Discovered Any one who for some length of time has been engaged in the study of this class, is familiar with the common occurrence of even great diversity between individuals appa rently issued from the same stock. Whenever this is the case we should not be too prone to dissociate such forms under different denominations, the more so as it may be expected that the employed 'characters are not available for a satisfactory limitation of more validity than what concerns local and individual minor discrepances. Thus, in syste matizing this class, it is not at all needed to rank varieties as species as has been insisted upon by brady. Although it would be consistent with nature to speak of variety of variety we are not compelled to carry out such a scheme, when we coordi nate all varieties under their type species. It is neither easier nor more difiicult to cha racterise distinct species amongst an assemblage of forms of this class than is the case within other classes of organisms, particularly when we have to 'deal with allied forms extending over several geological horizons or areas of the sea. Intermediate forms and varieties are met with at every instance, and this course of things will always bring about a more or less deficient limitation of species and genus, but by giving the notion of species its due compass, and expanding the sphaeres of genera, always selecting the more constant differential features, we may overcome a good deal embarassing incon sistences in the system, the chief purpose of which should be to unfold the affinity and origin of the forms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from More on Variation in the Genus Lepidocyclina (Larger Foraminifera) When Vaughan and Cole started their collaboration in the study Of larger Foraminifera in 1931, generic definitions and specific descriptions were Often based on insufficient data. New names, both generic and specific, were being erected at an astounding rate, in part because Older names were not understood, and in part because variation was neither appreciated or understood.

The geographical extent of the geological formations, one minor phase of whose history the present memoir is intended to illustrate, forbids the idea of exhaustive treatment; but whatever approach to completeness it may possess, even within the present range of ascertained facts, is due to assistance proffered with no ordinary kindness from many different quarters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the reviews: "This is now the definitive, authoritative text on applied foraminiferal micropaleontology and should be in the library of all practicing micropaleontologists." (William A. Berggren, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Micropaleontology, 47:1 (2001)"During the last 20 years there has been an explosion of publications about foraminifera from an amazing variety of disciplines: basic cell biology, algal symbiosis, biomineralization, biogeography, ecology, pollution, chemical oceanography, geochemistry, paleoceanography, and geology. This book summarizes contributions by leading researchers in these diverse fields. It is not just another text on the biology of foraminifera. Rather, Barun Sen Gupta has accomplished his objective to "write an advanced text for university students that would also serve as a reference book for professionals"." (Howard J. Spero, University of California at Davis in Limnology and Oceanography, 45:8 (2000).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Foraminifera Part I has as its first objective the development of a logical classification of the families and genera of the planktonic: Foraminifera. Its second objective is to describe various planktonic faunules, presenting 81d quate illustrations and clear descriptions With the hope of progressing toward a better understanding of inter region'al correlations and perhaps eventually to develop a uniform world-wide zonation. Its third objective is to present the results of studies that may be of use to the economic paleontologist in local well-to-well correla tions or in exploration in unknown areas. The first two aims lead inevitably to the third, for science is, valuable to man only insofar as it 18 his servant, and our artificial taxonomy, which 18 only man-made and not a product of nature itself, must be made useful if it is to be worthwhile.
