Mid-Cretaceous (Albian-Cenomanian) calcareous nannofossils from Pont du Fahs (northern Tunisia)

Summary Calcareous nannofossils from mid-Cretaceous (Albian-Cenomanian) sections at Pont du Fahs (northern Tunisia) allow the recognition of three nannofossil zones-the Prediscosphaera cretacea Zone, the Hayesites albiensis Zone, and the Eiffellithus turriseffeli Zone.

Description
Summary:Summary Calcareous nannofossils from mid-Cretaceous (Albian-Cenomanian) sections at Pont du Fahs (northern Tunisia) allow the recognition of three nannofossil zones-the Prediscosphaera cretacea Zone, the Hayesites albiensis Zone, and the Eiffellithus turriseffeli Zone. A comparative study has been made of the nannofossil assemblages from Pont du Fahs and 14 other sites in North Africa, Western Europe, the North Atlantic and United States.
