The Milan school of foraminiferal micropalaeontology
Studies of foraminifera in Milan are dated back to the 1940s and have been carried out since the 1950s, when a formal course in micropaleontology was introduced within the Masters degree in geology. Since the early days, the school of Milan has conducted landmark research projects from the Mesozoic...
