Planktonic Foraminifera as Indicators of Depositional Environment

Tests of planktonic foraminifera are clastic particles from an off-shore source area, shoreward deposition of which is controlled by sedimentary processes. In Recent sediments, significant correlation was observed between depth and per cent of planktonic tests. Islands had a marked effect on the dis...
