One of my favourite photos taken during the course of my project featuring a Blackites stilus on the left and a pentagonal Braarudosphaera bigelowii. Tanzanian Eocene material again.
All in celebration of the finishing of my final project studying these things, completion of my Masters in Applied and Petroleum Micropalaeontology and achieveing a Distinction in the MSc. Long year but so worth it.
Eocene nannoliths are absolutetly gorgeous and extremely weird. They have not much at all to do with my project but I can’t help stopping and photographing them when I see an exceptional one, or two, or ten. Tanzanian material again.
Micrantholithus bulbosus on the left and Braarudosphaera sequela on the right.
