A new observation on abnormal development in benthic foraminifers: Peneroplis pertusus (Forskål) - Peneroplis planatus (Fichtel and Moll) togetherness

Benthic foraminifer assemblages around a submarine spring in Ilıca Bay (Çeşme, Izmir) have been investigated. A rich foraminiferal fauna, dominated by Peneroplids were observed. Indviduals with abnormal test morphology was also common in 8 genera and 11 species of Peneroplids. Peneroplis pertusus (F...
