FORAMMCG is a set of data about the modern occurrence of foraminifers in the same general area. The samples for FORAMMCG were collected during USGS surveys M195MB, P197MB, and P295MB (http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank). These files are a part of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program "Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Project" . The data were collected and analyzed between 1994 and 2000. Purpose: These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information about the shallower areas of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Except for "Total count", "recrystallized and casts", and "Planktic foraminifers", which are raw counts, the item values are percentages of the total foram counts for each sample. A value of -1 indicates that that foram is rare (that is, less than 1% of the fauna) in the sample. >Ammo_beccarii Ammonia beccarii >Angu_angulosa Angulogerina angulosa >Asta_sp.
