The small size of most foraminifera may make them difficult to see, but it makes them much more useful than larger fossils for applications such as petroleum exploration, because there can be thousands of specimens in the small chips of rock collected when drilling a well.

As a result, since the 1920's the oil industry has been an important employer of paleontologists who specialize in these microscopic fossils. Stratigraphic control using foraminifera is so precise that these fossils are even used to direct sideways drilling within an oil-bearing horizon to increase well productivity.

Foraminifera (or forams, for short) belong to the Protozoa (unicellular animals). There are still Foraminifera alive today. ... Foraminifera produce a shell, or test. The limestone that makes up the pyramids of Egypt is composed almost entirely of nummulitic benthic foraminifera.

The foraminifera (and mollusks) of the Miocene thicket indicate a sea depth of not less than 1,500 meters and a temperature of about 2 degrees C; those of the Pliocene thicket indicate a depth of 200-300 meters and a low temperature.
