The research in the lab invertebrate Paleontology focus on the climate change , water chemistry of the ocean how acidic it was during the Cenozoic era which happen 65 million years ago. mud samples comes from various sites in the ocean. The process is called " ocean drilling" drilling about 4km down into ocean to collect foraminifera. We study foraminifera because they can tell us how much CCD, co2 was in the ocean during the cenozoic era.
