		Fusulinid dolowackestones and dolopackstones exhibit varying degrees of fusulinid preservation and are primarily present within the basal portion of the reservoir interval.
		Although porosity values within fusulinid dolopackstones may exceed 10 percent, effective porosity is generally low within fusulinid-bearing lithofacies since anhydrite cement occludes much of the pore space (and pore throats) or the biomoldic pores are not connected.
		The presence of fusulinids, bryozoans and echinoderms suggests that this facies developed in normal-marine conditions within 30 feet of water depth and greater (Sonnenfeld and Cross, 1993; Kerans et al., 1994; Kerans and Fitchen, 1995).

	KGS--Bull. 52, Pt. 7--Morrowan Rocks and Fusulinids of Kansas
		All four of the species of fusulinids, and possibly the variety, present in the Kearny formation in Kansas are also recognized in Morrowan rocks of Arkansas.
		It is believed, therefore, that this close similiarity of fusulinid faunas demonstrates that this part of the subsurface section in Kansas is of Morrowan age.
		Fusulinids referable to the genus Millerella are abundant in the cutting samples from throughout almost all the Kearny formation.

	Our Hoosier State beneath us: Paleontology: Indiana's fossil fusulinids
		Cousins of the modern amoeba, fusulinids are extinct shelled protozoans that lived between 234 and 315 million years ago.
		Several genera are found in marine limestones and shales in the coal-bearing strata of southwestern Indiana.
		Fossil fusulinids help geologists in Indiana to correlate isolated rock exposures, to identify subsurface rocks, and to coordinate local geologic history with events in the worlds geologic history.

	GeoKansas--Fossil Fusulinids
		Fusulinids became extinct during the mass extinction at the end of the Permian Period, about 250 million years ago.
		By studying living relatives of the fusulinids (a group called the foraminifera), scientists know that the tests were secreted by the protoplasm, the living material within the cell.
		Because of their rapid evolution and their occurrence in the rocks from around the world, fusulinids are extremely useful in correlating the ages of sedimentary rocks from different parts of the earth.

		THE ABUNDANT fusulinids of the Hughes Creek Shale Member of the Foraker Limestone in east-central Kansas are noted for their excellent preservation (Hageman and Kaesler, 1998).
		Other fusulinids were attacked at the poles or had test material peeled back, much as modern-day crabs strip away the shells of snails and clams.
		The predators of fusulinids may have been similar to those that prey on modern foraminifera, which are known to include fish, gastropods, nematodes, and crustaceans (Ross, 1972; Lipps and Ronan, 1974; Be and Spero, 1981; Lipps, 1988).

	The Carboniferous Period of the Paleozoic Era
		Fusulinids are giants among protists and could reach a centimeter in length.
		The Mississippian is differentiated from the Pennsylvanian by the appearance of the conodont Declinognathodus noduliferus, the ammonoid genus Homoceras, and the foraminifers Millerella pressa and Millerella marblensis.
		Index fossils used for the Pennsylvanian Period are fusulinid foraminifers and the pollen and spores from the coal forests prevalent during that time.

		Distinct changes in fusulinid wall structure (i.e., well-defined trabecularity of keriotheca) are observed at the base of the Montiparus montiparus Zone, and some investigators prefer therefore to place the Moscovian/Kasimovian boundary at the base of this zone (i.e., at the base of the Khamovnichenian Horizon in the stratotype section of the Moscow Basin area;

		Moreover, study of the addition of chambers by fusulinids is hampered by the inability clearly to discern in SEM micrographs the tectum, the outer covering of the wall, which is commonly visible in thin section.
		Fusulinid tests are characterized by microgranular walls made of closely packed, equidimensional, subangular grains of calcite.
		Different arrangements of grains result in layering in the walls of the test, which, together with the form of the test, are the basis for distinguishing higher taxa within the suborder (Lipps, 1973).

		Insofar as there exist grounds for comparison, there seems to be no reason why this fauna might not represent a horizon well up in the Pennsylvanian of Kansas, without, on the other hand, the existence of much reason why it should represent a horizon so late.

		They produced calcareous shells, which are of fine calcite granules packed closely together; this distinguishes them from other calcareous forams, where the test is usually hyaline.

		All of the major stratigraphic sequences there are correlated with those of the adjacent Pamirs and are described, as are one new genus and 41 new species and subspecies of Permian fusulinid.
		These data are used to postulate that Afghanistan and the Pamirs consist of fragments of numerous diverse depositional basins that were crushed together during collision of the Indostanian and Laurasian plates.
		In the northern part of the region, fusulinid faunas and facies indicate that tropical conditions existed throughout the Permian.

		New fusulinid data from the Kap Jungersen and Foldedal Formations in southern Amdrup Land, eastern North Greenland allow the establishment of a detailed fusulinid-based zonation of the Upper Carboniferous succession in the Wandel Sea Basin.
		The fusulinid fauna is quite similar to that of the Russian Platform, the Ural Mountains, Spitsbergen, Bjørnøya, and the offshore areas of the Barents Sea, and therefore the Greenland strata are confidently correlated to the these regions.
		Lower and middle Kasimovian deposits, characterized by two fusulinid assemblages of the Obsoletes obsoletus – Protriticites pseudomontiparus Zone and the Montiparus paramontiparus Zone, are recognised for the first time in Amdrup Land.

	Introduction: FUSULINID SUCCESSION FROM THE MIDDLE-UPPER CARBONIFEROUS BOUNDARY BEDS ON SPITSBERGEN, ARCTIC NORWAY (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The frequent occurrence and unique preservation of fusulinids in these strata offers an opportunity to study the process of the fusulinid evolution in transitional Middle to Upper Carboniferous beds based on their ontogeny.
		The fusulinid faunas of Spitsbergen have important paleobiogeographic implications as they act as faunal links between the diverse faunas known from Russia (e.g., Russian Platform, Timan-Pechora Basin and Urals) in the east and Northeast Greenland (Wandel Sea Basin) and the Canadian Arctic (Sverdrup Basin) in the west.
		New fusulinid data from Spitsbergen are regarded as being of great importance for resolving the problem of the Middle/Upper Carboniferous boundary recognition.

		His studies for the Illinois State Geological Survey Coal Division led to specialization in the fusulinid foraminifera that are common in the limestones and associated shales interbedded with the coal deposits.
		His association with Professor Dunbar at Yale continued to yield papers on fusulinid genera, on comparative morphology and evolutionary trends in the fusulinids, and also a monograph on the Pennsylvanian Fusulinidae of Illinois.
		Lloyd did considerable work on the smaller foraminifers that are found associated with the fusulinids in some deposits and on the relationship between forams and algae.

	Paleonet: About exclusion principle in modern large foraminifera
		In Fusulinids the historical tendancy is to split the genera, in Tertiary larger forams to lump them.
		Fusulinids and Eocene Nummulitids or Alveolinids have in common to be terribly successful groups that dominate the shallow seas over a long period of time.
		This is a typical period within a global (or Tethys-wide) maturation process (Global Community Maturation cycle) which follows in my view laws that are similar to the development of seres up to a climax, but involving genetic change to a large extent.
