Three of nine foraminifer samples collected from the Dikili Bay in the northwestern Aegean Sea
yielded three species demonstrating aberrance in development: Peneroplis planatus (Fichtel and Moll), Rosalina
sp. and Elphidium crispum (Linne). We suggest that the cause for such abnormalities may well be thermal springs,
which are known to exist in the regions of the Dikili Bay and the Island of Lesbos to the west, and correspondingly
high proportion of certain elements in the waters.
