Summary

Description

Pink-speckled, Homotrema-rich marine aragonite beach sand (modern) from North Point Peninsula, San Salvador Island, eastern Bahamas.

The pink coloration is the result of whitish aragonite sand sediments being mixed with reddish-colored test fragments of the rotaliid foraminiferan Homotrema rubrum (Protista, Foraminiferida, Rotaliina, Homotrematidae). Homotrema rubrum is ubiquitous in this area - it encrusts shells, dead coral, limestone clasts, or any other available hard substrate

Locality: shoreline along western side of North Point Peninsula, eastern side of Graham's Harbour, northeastern San Salvador Island, eastern Bahamas
