	abstract = {<p>Morphological abnormalities of recent and fossil benthic foraminiferal tests may be caused by environmental stress\&nbsp;resulting from anthropogenic pollution and/or natural effects. In the present paper we document and describe\&nbsp;morphological abnormalities of <em>Ammonia tepida</em> and some additional foraminiferal species from Holocene sedimentary\&nbsp;successions of the Aegean Sea (Alykes Kitros and Vravron Attica). The abnormality types are manifested largely by\&nbsp;siamese twins, whereas distorted chamber arrangement, overdeveloped or protruding chambers and the presence of\&nbsp;multiple apertures have also been observed. Our observations on the distribution of abnormal tests in comparison to the\&nbsp;characters of the accompanying fauna suggest that malformation was caused mainly by rapid and intense salinity\&nbsp;fluctuations.\&nbsp;</p>},
