Description
Summary:ceeded in subdividing the Paleogene record into a number of assem-blage zones that were useful for local stratigraphic correlation. During the early 1980s, several biostratigraphic schemes based on agglutinated foraminifers were devised for the Paleogene of the North Sea region (Gradstein and Berggren, 1981; King, 1983; Grad-stein et al., 1988). It became apparent that a number of Eocene– Oligocene DWAF species occur throughout the North Sea, Norwe-gian Sea, and Labrador Sea, suggesting that they may be useful for correlation purposes throughout the northern part of the North Atlan-tic. Subsequent studies have further refined the taxonomy and bio-
