Collection of calcareous nannofossil suspensions (size fraction < 63µm)

History:
During the preparation of washed foraminiferal residues for the MRC collections, a sub-sample of the < 63µm sieve fraction was retained and was bottled into glass vials. The liquid is unbuffered tap-water. This procedure in foraminiferal sample preparation was, however, introduced only after 1996, so that only a part of the foraminiferal samples prepared at the Basel MRC has accompanying nannofossil suspensions.
