Abstract
The Carpenter collection contains numerous slides of larger agglutinated foraminifera from the Faeroe Channel area. These have been re-identified during the preparation of a catalogue. The Faeroe Channel has a cold bottom water mass to the north (temperature ∼ 0°C) overlying sandy sediment with few larger agglutinated foraminifera, and a somewhat warmer water mass to the south (temperature > 2°C) overlying carbonate ooze with a diverse fauna of larger agglutinated foraminifera.
