Foraminifera
foraminiferans
Foraminifera are single-celled organisms, members of a phylum or class of Rhizarian protists characterized by streaming granular ectoplasm for catching food and other uses; and commonly an external shell called a test of diverse forms and materials. Tests of chitin are believed to be the most primitive type.W CalCOFI holds 300 observations of it in 1 dataset between 1951 and 2021.R

(dataset_taxon); the accepted name is written once, in the title above. A quiet

How big is it not on record
Not on record: no authority the fetcher reads carries a length for this taxon (a genus page could show the range of its species).
