👉 Foraminulate is a term used in geology and paleontology to describe the process by which sedimentary rocks are formed from ancient marine organisms, such as foraminifera (ocean crust bacteria). These organisms break down organic matter into smaller particles called microfossils, which then form new sediment. The formation of foraminifera is an important step in the geological history of the Earth's oceans and is thought to be the origin of all marine life today. Foraminifera
