It is not known the mode of feeding, however filter feeding has been proposed.

hey, i'm in the same circumstances, i figure out b4 the break that i have to do fossils because no one is willing to do it! but i think that fossils can be really fun and i can know more about another field of science.
anyway, i'm starting to build my binder and have some questions: where do you find the information ? like i'm doing forams right now, where can i find stuff about nummulites? the internet doesn't offer much though.
are you guys using the audobon book?
Thanks so much.
