Summary

Description

Homotrema rubrum (Lamarck, 1816) - encrusting foraminifera on an eroded coral clast from the Holocene of the Bahamas.

Homotrema rubrum is a common, reddish-colored, hard substrate-encrusting foraminiferan in the oceanic waters around San Salvador Island. A nearly identical, co-occurring foraminiferan is Miniacina, so identification of red encrusting forams as "Homotrema rubrum" should be done loosely.

The rock itself is actually not a rock - it's an eroded scleractinian coral skeleton, composed of aragonite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate).

Classification: Protista, Foraminiferida, Rotaliina, Homotrematidae
