The Foraminifera, are a class of amoeboid protists. They have thin pseudopodia that form an external net for catching food. They also usually have an external shell, or test, made of various materials and constructed in diverse forms.

Why are foraminifera found near oil deposits?
Foraminifera are found everywhere in marine environments. The forams found near oil deposits are different because they have parasites attached. Oil companies look for an environment that has more than 2% frequency of parasitized forams as a sign there may be an oil deposit. Their test, shell, also forms differently in environments with more oil which is another sign.
What are oozes named after?
What they are made of. Calcareous ooze is made from calium carbnate shells of cooclithophores, foraminifera, and other things with carbonate shells. Siliceous ooze is made of silica shells of radiolaria (really cool looking), diatoms, and anything else with a silica shell.

What is the chemical difference between radiolarian and foraminifera?
The chemical differences between Radiolarian and Foraminifera are in the types of shell casts they have developed. Radiolarians have siliceous shells, whereas Foraminifera have calcareous shells.
