| Summary: | The planktonic foraminiferal assemblages of the site in the Bahamas are closely related to those from the Caribbean. The faunal succession established by Bolli (1957a,b, 1966) can be easily recognized. Minor modi-fications of this zonation are mainly due to taxonomic reasons (Beckmann et al, 1969, Berggren, 1969, Krasheninnikov, 1965, and others). The mid-Eocene planktonic foraminifera from Site 108 belong to the subtropical to temperate faunal province, but the zonal subdivision based on tropical assemblages can still be applied without difficulties. SITE 98 Chart 1 shows the distribution of the stratigraphically significant planktonic foraminifera in the late Paleo-cene^) to late Eocene deposits cored at Site 98 and |
