Late Cretaceous (Maestrichtian?) Silicoflagellates from the Alpha Cordillera of the Arctic Ocean

A Late Cretaceous (probably Maestrichtian) silicoflagellate assemblage has been recovered for the first time from the middle section of a core taken from the Alpha Cordillera in the central Arctic Ocean. The finding of Globigerina pachyderma in the top and very rarely in the bottom part of the core...

Description
Summary:A Late Cretaceous (probably Maestrichtian) silicoflagellate assemblage has been recovered for the first time from the middle section of a core taken from the Alpha Cordillera in the central Arctic Ocean. The finding of Globigerina pachyderma in the top and very rarely in the bottom part of the core suggests a faulting or slumping process in the area.
