Description
Summary:The distribution of stratigraphically important calcareous nannofossils and planktonic foraminifera has been investigated in the Pliocene-Pleistocene sequences of ODP Sites 652, 653, and 654 (Tyrrhenian Sea-western Mediterranean). Semiquantitative and quantitative methods have been used, and an optimum relative sequence of bioevents based on the calcareous plankton groups has been established. About 30 bioevents in an interval of 5.0 m.y. are considered widely traceable in the area and reasonably synchronous. On the basis of those events, a correlation among the three investigated sequences is presented.
