Here we provide an image and 2D shape dataset of recent benthic foraminifera from two core records sampled from the center of the Santa Barbara Basin that span an ~800-year-long interval during the Common Era (1249-2008 CE). Information on more than 36,000 objects is included, of which more than 22,000 are complete or partially damaged benthic foraminifera. Skeletonized objects classified also include planktonic foraminifera, ostracods, pteropods, diatoms, radiolarians, fish teeth and skeletal structures, shark dermal denticles, and benthic foraminifer test fragments. The image dataset was produced using a high-throughput imaging method ( AutoMorph ) designed to extract 2D data from photographic images of fossils. This repository contains 8 distinct data types uploaded as distinct files, and includes the following: bulk_images.zip : Bulk images with objects identified by segment boxed in red individual_images.zip : EDF images of individual objects within the dataset identification_files.zip : Classifications ...
