This book was released on 2015-10-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of fossil planktonic foraminifera as markers for biostratigraphical zonation and correlation underpins most drilling of marine sedimentary sequences and is key to hydrocarbon exploration. The first - and only - book to synthesise the whole biostratigraphic and geological usefulness of planktonic foraminifera, Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera unifies existing biostratigraphic schemes and provides an improved correlation reflecting regional biogeographies.Renowned micropaleontologist Marcelle K. Boudagher-Fadel presents a comprehensive analysis of existing data on fossil planktonic foraminifera genera and their phylogenetic evolution in time and space. This important text, now in its Second Edition, is in considerable demand and is now being republished by UCL Press.

Book Late Paleogene  oligogene  and Neogene Planktonic Foraminiferal Biostratigraphy of the Atlantic Ocean  lat  30   N to Lat  30   S

Download or read book Late Paleogene oligogene and Neogene Planktonic Foraminiferal Biostratigraphy of the Atlantic Ocean lat 30 N to Lat 30 S written by William A.. Berggren and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 120 planktonic foraminiferal species are recorded from late Paleogene (Oligogene (Oligocene) and Neogene sediments recovered by the Deep Sea Drilling Project (Legs 1-4) between lat. 30 degrees N and lat. 30 degrees S in the Atlantic Ocean. Particularly good oligocene and lower Miocene biostratigraphic sequences were recovered in the South Atlantic (Leg 3) and a nearly complete composite succession of Neogene sediments has been examined from the tropical Atlantic (Caribbean, Legs 4 and 15; Gulf of Mexico, Leg 1). South Atlantic late Paleogene and early Neogene planktonic foraminiferal assemblages exhibit a marked similarity with those from the Australasian region (New Zealand, SW Pacific). South Atlantic early Neogene assemblages are characterized by globigerinids, globoquadrinids and non-keeled globorotaliids. Late Neogene tropical assemblages are dominated by keeled globorotaliids. Within the Pliocene the sequential extinction of several taxa make a refinement of current planktonic foraminiferal zonation zonation possible and a six-fold zonation (Zones p11-6) is applied.

Book Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera

Download or read book Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera written by Marcelle K. BouDagher-Fadel and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2012 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foraminifera are free-living protozoa that grow an elaborate, solid calcite skeleton. Their well-marked evolutionary record makes them of outstanding value in zonal stratigraphy. The role of fossil planktonic foraminifera as markers for biostratigraphical zonation and correlation underpins most drilling of marine sedimentary sequences and is key to hydrocarbon exploration. Biostratigraphic and Geological Significance of Planktonic Foraminifera presents a comprehensive analysis of existing data on fossil planktonic foraminifera genera and their phylogenetic evolution in time and space. In addition, the book contains new, unpublished data on carbonate thin sections with identified fossil planktonic foraminifera from the Far East to offshore Brazil and South Africa.

Book Late Neogene Chronostratigraphy  Biostratigraphy  Biochronology and Paleoclimatology

Download or read book Late Neogene Chronostratigraphy Biostratigraphy Biochronology and Paleoclimatology written by William A. Berggren and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 834 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of modern paleomagnetic, radiometric, and biostratigraphic studies has provided an accurate geochronological framework for the past 10 million years--the Late Neogene. Marine zones based on calcareous and siliceous planktonic organisms are recognized from the sub-Arctic region to the sub-Antarctic and their correlation to the paleomagnetic time scale is now feasible in some detail for the past 5 my. Likewise, the relationship of geochemically calibrated mammalian biochronology to the marine succession has been greatly improved. Within this framework of time it is possible to delineate the history of major features in Late Neogene paleontology, climatology, and oceanography. (Author).

Book Plankton Stratigraphy  Volume 1  Planktic Foraminifera  Calcareous Nannofossils and Calpionellids

Download or read book Plankton Stratigraphy Volume 1 Planktic Foraminifera Calcareous Nannofossils and Calpionellids written by Hans M. Bolli and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1989-05-25 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive synthesis of our knowledge of the biostratigraphy of marine plankton is the work of an international team of eighteen authors. It covers all the major fossil groups that can be used to date sediments and rocks in the time interval Late Mesozoic to Holocene. Altogether more than 3200 taxa are considered, almost all of which are illustrated and depicted on range charts, making the book a valuable work of reference in the earth sciences. For ease of reference by specialists interested in either calcareous or non-calcareous microfossils, the original work is now divided into two independent volumes. Volume I covers the calcareous microfossils and includes planktic foraminifers, calcareous nannofossils and calpionellids.

Book Late Neogene Planktonic Foraminifera of the Cibao Valley  Dominican Republic   Biostratigraphy and Paleoceanography

Download or read book Late Neogene Planktonic Foraminifera of the Cibao Valley Dominican Republic Biostratigraphy and Paleoceanography written by Brendan P. Lutz and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dense sampling of planktonic foraminifers is described from the Cercado, Gurabo, and Mao Formations in the Cibao Valley, northern Dominican Republic. Assemblages are relatively consistent throughout, with Globigerinoides spp. dominating each section. The Cercado Formation is loosely confined to Zones N17 and N18 ([approximately]8.6-5.6 Ma). The Gurabo Formation spans Zones N18 and N19 ([approximately]5.6-4.5 Ma). The Mao Fm. is placed in Zone N19 ([approximately]4.5-3.6 Ma). The predominant genera ( Globigerinoides and Orbulina ) and species indicate a near-shore setting throughout the period of deposition with an episode of deepening after a lowstand at the Miocene/Pliocene boundary. Increasing abundances of Gs. sacculifer and Gs. ruber in conjunction with a decreasing abundance of G. bulloides suggests the onset of increasing salinity and diminishing primary productivity at [approximately]5.8 Ma. A sharp increase in Gs. sacculifer and Gs. ruber at [approximately]4.8 Ma implies a major intensification of Caribbean surface water salinity with a decline in primary productivity. The mechanism for this change is isolation of the Caribbean Ocean through enhanced closure of the Central American Seaway (CAS). Upwelling events are recorded in the upper Cercado Fm. ([approximately]6.1 Ma) and in the middle Mao Fm. ([approximately]4.2 Ma) by spikes in G. bulloides and Neogloboquadrina spp. respectively. The timing of increasing salinity and decreasing productivity ([approximately]4.8 Ma) and upwelling ([approximately]6.1and 4.2 Ma) generally corroborate previously suggested paleoceanographic changes related to the uplift of Panama. Oceanographic changes depicted by paleobiogeographic distributions suggest that shoaling along the Isthmus of Panama had implications in the Caribbean as early as 6.5 Ma. Major paleobiologic changes between [approximately]4.8 and 4.2 Ma likely represent the period of final closure of the CAS and the complete division between Pacific and Caribbean water masses.
