Ostracods and foraminifera from the Early - Middle Eocene of Qeren Sartaba, Jordan Valley

23 species of ostracods and 20 species and species groups of planktonic foraminifera from the 80m thick Qeren Sartabasection, central Jordan Valley, are described and illustrated. The material is determined by planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy to belong to the latest Early Eocene (upper part...

Description
Summary:23 species of ostracods and 20 species and species groups of planktonic foraminifera from the 80m thick Qeren Sartabasection, central Jordan Valley, are described and illustrated. The material is determined by planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy to belong to the latest Early Eocene (upper part of Zone P9) and the early Middle Eocene (Zone P10). The palaeoecology is representative of a pelagic marine shelf, with periodic events of shallowing and hardground formation.
