This paper describes results of an experiment aimed mainly at obtaining random thin-sections of isolated specimens of planktic foraminifera determined to a species level. Twenty species of uppermost Paleocene-Middle Eocene planktic foraminifera from pelagic variegated marls of the Fore-Magura Thrust Sheet have been chosen for this experiment. These planktic foraminifera belong to the genera Chiloguembelina , Turborotalia , Acarinina , Morozovella , Muricoglobigerina , Subbotina and Parasubbotina . Their SEM images, stereomicroscope photos of isolated specimens, and the experimental thin-sections along with their systematics and stratigraphic ranges are presented.
