Figure 2

Figure 2 — Top: Testing the quality of the fossil record using benthic foraminifera; a live–dead study on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. Bottom: some common benthic foraminifera from this setting. Live–dead agreement is in general very poor, with only about 20% of species in the death assemblage also found in the living community, possibly as a result of recent human impact. Species are: a. Psuedohauerina sp.; b. Borelis pulchra; c. Chysalidinella dimporpha; d. Reusella spinulosa; e. Triloculina bicarinata; f. Amphistegina gibbosa; g,l. Cymbaloporetta squamosa; h. Rosalina floridiana; i. Vertebralina mucronata; l. Vertebralina sp.; m. Pyrgo comata; n,o. Asterigerina carinata; p. Archaias ungulatus. Figure modified from Darroch (2012 – reference below).
