Smaller Foraminifera from Miyako-jima, Ryukyu
The Foraminifera from the so-called Shimajiri Formation of Miyako-jima has been classified into 28 families, 62 genera, and 128 species and subspecies. In general, the Miyako foraminiferal assemblage is a deep-water fauna of the outer shelf area. The sampled formation is judged to be Pliocene in age...
