Tidal flats develop alonggently clipping sea coasts, with marked tidal rhytms, where enough sediment is available and strong wave action is not present. This may be the case in estuaries, lagoons, bays or behind barrier islands or other sand bars (Reineck and Singh, 1973)
Sediment mostly consist of sands, muds or mixtures of the two. Characteristic foraminifera inhabiting this environment are Ammoni beccarii, elphidium spp., Quinqueloculina sp.
Rotaliids predominate in tidal flat assemblages, miliolids are rare to absent and arenaceous species not common.
