The specimens were provided by Michael Hesemann of the amazing website (www.foraminifera.eu). I photographed these fossils with an Orion Microxplore MFL-06 microscope and Kodak Easyshare LS743 camera.
These first two pictures appear to be a Palmula obliqua foraminifera. Learn more at this webpage.
This last specimen appears to be Palmula oblonga foraminifera. See this webpage for more info.

Hi Michael,
very nice shots of these Palmulas.
Their huge size - for a foraminifera - indicates a very warm climate, which has been the case for the shallow sea upon northern Germany in parts of the Chattian.
Michael
