The fusuline belonging to the so-called larger foraminifera has been regardecl to be the ideal index fossil. It flourished extremely in the late Carboniferous to the late Permian, distributed world-widely, and had a hard shell fit for preservation, In addition, the fusuline seems to have been very sensitive to the physical environments. The fusuline shell is minute enough to be found even in drilling cores for oil prospecting, and has rather cemplicated internal structure. Orientated thin sections of sheli allow to assess the structural features and also te determine the phylogenetic relations, because the shell has preserved all the ontogenetic growth stages. An axial section is passing through the initial chamlrer (proloeulus) and the axis of coiling. A sagittal section is passing threugh the proLoculus and at right angles to the axis of coiling. These two sections are necessary. Furthermore, a tangential section and a cross sectien are desirable, which are cutting parallel and at right angles to the axis of coiling, respectively, but not passing through the proloculus. 1.
