After the 8 ICRS, I collected large
foraminifers in the Caribbean coast of
Panama at Maria Chiquita and Isla Grande
, 80 and 60km west from San Blas.
Strong shell abnormalities were
observed in Amphistegina, Heterostegina,
and Sorites (diatom and Symbiodinium
symbionts). Abnormalities are worldwide
associated with mass bleaching (Hallock
team work, my Review on Reef Bleaching)
due to CO2 rise as I presented
evidences. Such abnormalities were
unknown in sub-present and geological
time apart the Cretaceous/Tertiary
boundary.
