Limestone is awesome. We had little plastic vials of low-molar HCL that we used to test for limestone. Leading to the not-very-creative catchphrase of "Time to drop acid!".
Haha oh I wore those visibility vests many times. So fashionable! But after learning how cool roadcuts can be I got a bad habit of trying to look at them all the time...which, when driving up in the White Mountains is every 5 seconds or so...maybe not such a good idea. So I let other people drive and yell at them to pull over when I see some cool stuff :)
My forams were mostly benthics; the ones I was looked at for my honors thesis were shallow water guys, but we had to ID some deep sea benthics for my marine geo class and a few other small projects. I agree...they are hard on the eyes and glasses. I spent a few weeks once doing grain-size counts for a paleodepth analysis. I thought I was going to go cross-eyed!
