Research in the MicroPalLab. Pictures are from left: I) A foraminifera living on the seafloor. Photo: E. Alve. Microfossils: II) Rhaetipollis germanicus (pollen), III) Rhaetogonyaulax rhaetica (dinoflagelatte cyst). The palynomorphs are Late Triassic in age (ca 210 million years old), and taken from the Kössen Formation, Austria. Photo/Microscopy II/III: W. Kürschner.
