Benthic foraminiferal faunas and trophic regimes at the terminal Cretaceous Tethyan seafloor
We quantified the horizontal distribution of Late Cretaceous (late Maastrichtian) benthic foraminifera for 10 upper bathyal to abyssal localities, that cover a wide range of environmental settings throughout the Tethyan realm. For the first time, a quantitative faunal study is performed in order to...

Summary: | We quantified the horizontal distribution of Late Cretaceous (late Maastrichtian) benthic foraminifera for 10 upper bathyal to abyssal localities, that cover a wide range of environmental settings throughout the Tethyan realm. For the first time, a quantitative faunal study is performed in order to identify and explain the differences between Late Cretaceous benthic foraminiferal faunas from the deep open ocean and from the shallower marginal seas of the Tethys. status: published |
