“…Previous studies described diverse and abundant benthic foraminiferal microfauna in the modern and the the Holocene sediments on and around the Scotland shelf and provided some microphotographs of the typical species ( Lo Giudice Cappelli et al 2019 , Mackensen 1987 , Mojtahid et al 2021 ). Our aim is to continue a research study on the identification and illustration of the benthic foraminifera in the North Atlantic bottom sediments ( Kireenko et al 2022 ). We present 17 tables with high-quality microphotographs of 106 identified foraminiferal taxa (species and genera) produced using the Nikon microscope SMZ25, equipped with Nikon camera DS-Fi3 and NIS-Elements D software.…”

Geological studies in the seas and oceans often give preference to the study of benthic foraminifera, which are a widespread and taxonomically diverse group of shell protozoa. In this paper, we present an extensive image dataset produced during the detailed micropaleontological analysis of 146 samples of bottom sediments collected by multicorer and gravity corer AMK-5656 from the Westray Basin on the north-western Scotland shelf (North Atlantic Ocean). In total, 106 taxa (at species and genera level) of benthic foraminifera were identified and photographed using the high-resolution microscope camera. This dataset can aid as a guide for identification of the benthic foraminiferal taxa at the paleoecological studies, stratigraphic works and interregional paleoceanographic correlation in the North Atlantic Ocean.
