Geological studies in the seas and oceans often give preference to the study of benthic foraminifera, which are a widespread and taxonomically diverse group of shell protozoa. In this paper, we present an extensive image dataset produced during the detailed micropaleontological analysis of 146 samples of bottom sediments collected by multicorer and gravity corer AMK-5656 from the Westray Basin on the north-western Scotland shelf (North Atlantic Ocean). In total, 106 taxa (at species and genera level) of benthic foraminifera were identified and photographed using the high-resolution microscope camera. This dataset can aid as a guide for identification of the benthic foraminiferal taxa at the paleoecological studies, stratigraphic works and interregional paleoceanographic correlation in the North Atlantic Ocean.
海洋地质研究通常更倾向于对底栖有孔虫进行研究，底栖有孔虫是一类分布广泛且分类多样的壳原生动物。在本文中，我们展示了一个丰富的图像数据集，该数据集是在对从苏格兰西北大陆架（北大西洋）韦斯特雷盆地采集的146个底质沉积物样本进行详细的微古生物学分析过程中生成的。这些样本是通过多管取芯器和重力取芯器AMK - 5656采集的。总共识别出了106个底栖有孔虫分类单元（在物种和属的层面），并使用高分辨率显微镜相机进行了拍照。该数据集可作为北大西洋古生态研究、地层学工作以及区域间古海洋学对比中识别底栖有孔虫分类单元的指南。
