The term microfossils refers to the smallest fossils (smaller than 1 mm). Despite their size, these fossils are essential for research into the past - especially for the reconstruction of the palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate. The dynamic composition of taxa assemblages shows how these sensitive organisms reacted to changes in their habitat. At the same time, geochemical analyses of fossil shells allow reconstructions of environmental factors such as water temperature. Immerse yourself with me in a world that is otherwise only visible under the microscope.
