Treffen und Workshops 2012
Statt eines allgemeinen einführenden Workshops wie 2011 finden Treffen der Projektgruppen statt. Bei den Projektgruppen sind weitere Mitstreiter (auch absolute Anfänger) willkommen. Es wird eine Mitarbeit in der Form erwartet, dass eine überschaubare und klar beschriebene Aufgabe übernommen und zum vereinbarten Termin erledigt wird. Englisch-Sprachkenntnisse werden vorausgesetzt. Außerdem sollte die Bereitschaft bestehen, sich mindestens einmal jährlich persönlich zu treffen. InteressentInnen wenden sich bitte an uns über michael [at] foraminifera.eu. |

| 5.2. Running Projects to participate in 5.2.1 Foraminifera of the Sternberger Gestein. Detailed portray of the foraminieral content of this fossil-rich, Chattian (Oligocene) glacial erratic found in Northeastern Germany. A webside has been set up at www.foraminifera.eu/sternberg. Some prominent families such as Vaginulinidae and Nodosariidae have been yet dealt with. Further analysis of more groups is needed. The working-group consists of 3+ persons. Material may be shared. Who is interested - including absolute beginners - may contact me at michael [at] foraminifera.eu It is expected that members of the group are capable to fulfill an agreed job in the agreed time. 5.2.2 Foraminifera of the Eocene/Oligocene clay outcrops of Atzendorf / Germany Kick-of meeting is 16th of April 2012 talk by PhD-student Marc Theodor on Atzendorf foraminifera in Hamburg. Marc did his Master.-thesis on it. It is agreed with the Museum fuer Naturkunde und Vorgeschichte, Dessau to show an exhibition on foraminifera in general and from Atzendorf as of April 2013. A meeting with the people from Dessau is planned for October 2012 in Hamburg. see first images at http://www.foraminifera.eu/atzendorf.html. Who is interested - including absolute beginners - may contact me at michael [at] foraminifera.eu. It is expected that members of the group are capable to fulfill an agreed job in the agreed time. 5.2.3 The Mediterranean from Tethys till now, illustrated by Foraminifera. Samples of the Mediterranean illustrating major events since the Late Cretaceous need to be processed and acquired. So far recent, Pleistocene and Pliocene samples are partly processed and about 250 images made. see http://www.foraminifera.eu/medit00.html .The working-group consists of 2 persons. Who is interested - including absolute beginners - may contact me at michael [at] foraminifera.eu. It is expected that members of the group are capable to fulfill an agreed job in the agreed time. 5.2.4 Maastrichtian Foraminifera As of march 2012 a working group of 3 people is set up and will work on the many samples we hold from Maastrichtian strata ranging from core-drills to grab samples from quarrys of Northwestern Europe and to a limited extent from the US. The working-group consists of 4 persons. Who is interested - including absolute beginners - may contact me at michael [at] foraminifera.eu. It is expected that members of the group are capable to fulfill an agreed job in the agreed time. 5.2.5. Index Foraminifera we are intending to develop an easy to use webpage for chronostratigraphy by index foraminifera. See first entries at www.foraminifera.eu/if.html Foraminifera are commonly used as index, marker of guide fossils for biostratigraphical zonation of sedimentary rock and sediments. This zonation permits the establishment of a relative age, a chronostratigraphy, for a sedimentary section. Micropaleontologists have established a wide-spanning net of biozones in space and time based on the first and last occurrences of> selected species. From its foraminiferal content samples may be precisely placed into an according biozone. Hundreds of scientific publications are available on biozonation with foraminifera but an overall and easy to use catalogue of index foraminifera is hard to get. With these pages we want to build such an easy to use catalogue of index foraminifera primarily for ourselves, but we share it with you. 5.2.6 Android App Foraminifera a rough plan is made to program a Android App for Foraminifera for mobiles and tablet-touchscreens 5.2.7 Paleozoic Foraminifera The Paleozoic Foraminifera researchers Conkin and Conkin have allowed to use their whole publications on foraminifera.eu. The many publications need to be digested and integrated. In 2012 it is planned by the associated AG Mikropaläontologie im Naturwissenschaftlichen Verein Hamburg to acquire a professional thin-sectioning machine. Thus practical work on Paleozoic rock samples may begin. see http://www.foraminifera.eu/conkin.php 5.3 Finished Projects and Projects not open to new coworkers 5.3.1. Creating a general foraminifera exhibition with 10 posters, 15 plastic of foraminifera, equipment of the mircopaleontologist, raw-material, plummercell-slides, microscope with mounted sample, video and PC installation 5.3.2 Creating a poster for the Lägerdorf quarries - collecting-days - see http://www.foraminifera.eu/laegerdorfposter.html 5.3.3 Creating different talks on foraminifera and adjustant areas in German and English 5.3.4. Presenting the Foraminifera.eu Project at international meetings of Foraminiferologists done so at FORAMS 2010, TMS Meeting Foram and Nanofossil working group 2011 Krakow 5.3.5 Establishing different working groups with active members done as seen in 5.2 5.3.6 Digitizing a text on German index-foraminifera of the Oligocene by Siegfried Müller download available at http://foraminifera.eu/mueller1966.html 5.4 Key to Species we want to improve our Key-to-Genera with more than 400 genera integrated so far. see http://www.foraminifera.eu/taxopresel.php |
