Foraminifera — Open Science Morphological Platform

Foraminifera identification, Morphological & micropaleontology — the video channel of foraminifera.org, an open-science platform for the study of forams.

Thousands of taxa, one clear path. We walk you through the complexity of foraminifera and boil it down to possibilities you can actually work with — whether you're a student, a researcher, or simply fascinated by these microfossils.

On this channel:
- Identification guides — reading morphological characters (test material, chamber arrangement, coiling, aperture, sutures…) to narrow down species
- Micropaleontology explained — benthic vs planktonic forams, biostratigraphy, paleoceanography, and how forams record Earth's history
- Inside the platform — open taxonomy data, tools, and how foraminifera.org is built

Part of an open-science effort to make foraminifera knowledge free and accessible to everyone.
