Biostratigraphy and tectonically controlled sedimentation of the Maastrichtian in Israel and adjacent countries
Maastrichtian argillaceous chalks of the Ghareb Formation are widespread throughout Israel, both in exposures and in the subsurface. These strata contain a rich fauna of foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton, allowing detailed biozonation of the sediments, which were deposited in a series of bas...
