Description
Summary:Benthic foraminifers were investigated from the western North Atlantic, Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1276, to document the occurrence of Eocene abyssal benthic foraminifers in this region. Foraminieferal fauna in the middle-upper Eocene consists mainly of agglutinated foraminifers such as Reticulophragmium amplectens, Spiroplectammina spectabilis, Recurvoides spp., and Paratrochamminoides cf. corpulentus with tube-shaped forms. These faunal associations are basically similar to that of ODP Legs 105 (Labrador Sea), 149, and 173 (Iberian margin). ...
