Kcee Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The first specimen is about 0.70mm long and the last one has a diameter of 1.4mm. I searched all 166 pages at marinespecies.org and came of two look-a-likes for the first specimen, they were, triloculina and quinqueloculina. The last specimen sorta looks like something named reophax subfusiformis. I can't say for sure if those are the correct species for these but it's a place to start. I've come across hundreds of these things and to date only about 3 can be identified by scientist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 I would tend to Quinqueloculina for the first one. Second photo is to blurry to notice the characteristics of determination of a foraminifera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 This one looks like a drilled clam. I the other side identical but without a hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other side is shown in the last photo, the bottom of this is spiral and somewhat larger than the top where the hole is, the bottom is about 1.4mm and the top part is about 0.50mm.
