While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Remarks:

A large agglutinating foraminifer common for the Barents-Kara shelf; abundant in organic-rich mud from any shelf depth where such sediment occurs (20 through 300m); often comprises the bulk of foraminiferal biomass; rare to absent in oligotrophic areas and in sands; has a low fossilization potential.
