Microboring activity in Orbitoides accumulations from Turkey

Some of the Orbitoides tests from various localities of Turkey (Hekimhan, Darende, Osmaneli, Bolu) show tunnels of microboring activity. The samples from Bolu and Darende contain a rotaliid (? Talpinella cunicularia Baumfalk, Fortuin and Mok), probably a parasitic form, in the equatorial chamberlets and embryonic stage. This is the first time that this has been found in Turkey.
