摘 要：This study presents the first documentation work on recent benthic foraminifers of Oman coasts, especially of the northern part of Sultanate at Sawadi and the southern part at Janoof Tidal Creek near Taqah-Salalah beach. Eleven samples were collected from both localities. Twenty-nine species of benthonic Foraminifera belonging to 20 genera are retrieved, identified and illustrated herein. The study areas show the interaction in land and sea. Lagoons with normal marine hypersaline inhabited with sea grass and Mangrove-swamps. Mainly calcareous porcellaneous and hyaline walled foraminifers are abundant. Environmentally, the Janoof Tidal Creek shows better condition than Sawadi Tidal Creek as reflected by the more diverse and high abundance of foraminiferal taxa at the former locality. Both water bodies are free of toxic-heavy elements as evidenced by the lack of any abnormal foraminiferal test.
