Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. 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.

Neogloboquadrina pachyderma 3
  • Umbilical view.
  • Left-coiled (sinistral) specimen.
  • Collected: summer1992 U.S.G.S. cruise, Arctic continental slope off Alaska (Chukchi Borderland, 75º 44.65’N, 160º 55.73’ W), 2103mwd, modern hemipelagic mud

Remarks:

The most abundant planktonic foraminifer of high latitudes; as any planktonic foraminifer, avoids low-salinity and shallow waters. The left-coiled morphotype prevails at lowest temperatures and occurs throughout the Arctic Ocean. On the Barents-Kara shelf, tests of N.pachyderma are abundant mostly in sediments underlying Atlantic-derived waters, that is, in troughs 300-600 mwd extending from the continental margin to the shelf interior.
