有孔蟲灘岩是由有孔蟲軀殼、珊瑚碎屑、貝殼破片或玄武岩礫石等沉積膠結所形成,是澎湖很特殊的沉積岩之一。這種灘岩長年遭受海水的浸泡以及陽光的照射,受到差異侵蝕的影響,在岩體上產生大大小小的坑洞,看起來好似珊瑚礁石灰岩,在竹灣村北側海邊、合界、小門海邊,甚為容易看到此灘岩。現在看到的標本是採集於湖西鄉的菓葉。

Foraminifera beach rock is formed by sedimentary cementation of foraminifera shells, coral detritus, seashell fragmentsbasalt gravel,is one of the very special sedimentary rocks in Penghu.
