Planktonic foraminifera are marine protozoa with a calcareous and chambered test. The group evolved since late Early Jurassic, and from mid-Cretaceous onward, it has significantly proliferated and is a major component of oceanic oozes.

Description
Summary:Planktonic foraminifera are marine protozoa with a calcareous and chambered test. The group evolved since late Early Jurassic, and from mid-Cretaceous onward, it has significantly proliferated and is a major component of oceanic oozes. Planktonic foraminifera phylogeny often is closely linked to paleoceanographic turn-over events, and its detailed biostratigraphy contributes significantly to Earth’s geologic history.
