A few weeks ago, @oyo had a really interesting post about "Coral Lovers". It was a fascinating look at fossilized asexual reproduction of coral specimens - really beautiful too. I just recently brought home a bag of matrix from one of the Central Texas Cretaceous Glen Rose formation sites. And surprise surprise...I found a whole series of Orbitolina texana caught in the various stages of reproducing! So here is my "For Foraminifera Lovers" EDIT - so apparently, this is not asexual reproduction - could be merging of adults or recovering from wounding or just conjoined twins. Ah well. Still pretty cool. All orbitolinas are aprox 1/8 inch And then there's the "weird" ones - I think this one is tripleting : And this one....well, not sure what this one thought it was doing
