Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) planktonic foraminifera from the northwest Australian margin
The aim of this paper is to document three well-preserved morphotypes of Middle Jurassic (Bajocian) planktonic foraminifera from the continental margin of northwestern Australia. This location is on the southern shelf of the Middle Jurassic Tethys Ocean, and these occurrences of planktonic or meropl...
