Arenaceous foraminifera from the Windsor Group (Middle and Upper Mississippian) of the Atlantic Provinces of Canada
Arenaceous foraminifera have been obtained from the insoluble residues of limestones from the Windsor Group (Valmeyeran—Chesterian) of the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. From the arenaceous foraminifera fauna 10 genera and 27 species have been identified of which Saccammina sydneyensis, Tolypammina w...
