Hello again, Here's another Eocene fossil from Al Ain, found close to Jebel Hafeet. There are also some nummulites in the matrix. I'm guessing it's a coral of some type. The preservtion is quite odd, almost like there's some iron oxide layer present. I've only seen this a handful of times, usually only on fossil gastropod shells. Edit: Forgot the scale! They honeycomb structure measures just under 1cm across (less than half an inch)

The size is the most striking characteristic of this foraminifera species. They can reach up to 10cm in diameter. References: A. M.

What is the identification of the foraminifera present in this section? We suspect it as assilina but we think this should have a younger age instead. Thank you!
