| Summary: | Calcareous nannofossils, planktonic foraminifera and mollusc associations have been studied in order to define the biostratigraphical and chronostratigraphical position of a sequence of marly and diatomaceous Neogene sediments (Skythia section, Heraklion province, central Crete). The integrated analysis indicates a Pliocene (Lower Piacenzian) age. Additional paleoecological observations certify the presence of a rather shallow warm-temperate depositional environment. |
