After I pick the fossil foraminifera, it’s time for the students to pick the foraminifera from the surface samples they took. This year it would be an ok practical as the class size wasn’t very big. And it went well! Mike was there to help me out, like last year. It was a bit unusual in that we had one student not there even though he had been on the field course, and two students there who hadn’t been.
We decided to let them pick forams until 11 am. The rest of the time was for identification and verification. And some students only had one species. We were done before the timetabled end of the practical. Great! And soon after, the students started mailing through the results. I didn’t yet have time to collect them. That day, I had to inhale some lunch, and was then in a School Board meeting for the rest of the day. And two days later I would have a practical again!
