Miocene Planktonic Foraminifera from Newport Bay California
Twenty species of planktonic foraminifera are reported from the Miocene Monterey Shale at Newport Bay, California. Rocks of the Luisian Stage contain numerous individuals and species; those of the overlying Mohnian Stage contain fewer species and individuals. Two local zones, recognized in the Luisi...
