MikeD Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I am guessing he is talking about some type of Foraminifera since they came from 4000 feet below. Is this it, circled in the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 ...this little fossil snail looking thing was about 4,000 foot deep. I'm a little lost here... Is this from a seafloor core sample, or something like that? Please fill me in.

barefootgirl Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Now now people calm down, he might not have killed it on purpose. He might have just found it already dead in the road. By the way, I love that pict of the microscopic whatever it is. It looks like a pict of planet.

MikeD Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm a little lost here... Is this from a seafloor core sample, or something like that? Please fill me in. Forams are used by oil company geologists to date the layers that they are drilling through, so they "know" where they are in relation to where oil should be. IIdon't know all of the technicalities, but i do know just enough to be dangerous. I'm guessing he saw these on or from a drilling rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
