The thing with term is that once it starts, it moves fast. Events always approach quicker than you want them too. And one of the events that was approaching me was the micropalaeontological practical associated with our fieldwork module. The students then analyse their (modern) samples for foraminifera assemblages, so they can compare them with the fossil samples. But someone has to do these fossil samples. And that someone is me.
I also felt the need to split the samples, in order to not spend ludicrous amounts of time on them. Some samples were so big there really was no choice. And the School has such a cute sample splitter. I think it hasn’t made the blog yet, but it’s time to change that!

| Some forams |
I quite like doing some forams! It’s just that there is so much else to do. But it’s done now. Roll on the practical! With a new charming assistant. Stay tuned!
