Abstract
The use of volcanic ash particles (including dark-coloured grains) by agglutinated foraminifera that survived the 1991 eruption of Mt Pinatubo volcano provides a useful tracer to help determine growth rates and longevity in the deep sea. In the case of a specimen of Cyclammina pusilla Brady, the rate of chamber addition in this Rose Bengal stained sub-adult individual is three chambers over a timespan of five and one-half years.
