M.A. Buzas benthic foraminiferal samples (1965) from Long Island Sound, USGS OFR 00-304
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
The purpose of this layer is to disseminate a digital version of the location of samples collected and analyzed by M. A. Buzas in 1965.
Description
This GIS layer contains a point overlay showing the the distribution of benthic foraminiferal samples collected in 1965 by M. A. Buzas in Long Island Sound. Sediment samples were washed on a 0.062 mm sieve to separate the foraminifera from the silt and clay.
Foraminifera were picked from the fraction retained on the sieve and individually identified and counted with a binocular microscope using reflected light. The foraminifera data and navigation were entered into a flat-file database (Excel) and inported into Mapview for graphical analysis. The files were subsequently exported into MIDMIF files, and converted into shape files with the Arc utility MIFSHAPE.EXE.
