Global stratigraphy, palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology of Albian-Maastrichtian pithonellid calcispheres: impact on Tethys configuration
This study reviews the stratigraphy, palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology of some important Albian-Maastrichtian pelagic calcispheres: Bonetocardiella conoidea, Pithonella ovalis, P. perlonga, P. sphaerica and P. trejoi. It also presents a significant new data set on these organisms from the western...
