The Pacific (DSDP Site 463) and Tethys Ocean record of OAE1a: a taxonomic and quantitative analyses of planktonic foraminifera
The Selli Level (Early Aptian) is a regional marker-bed identified in the Umbria-Marche area (central Italy) consisting of laminated black shales rich in organic matter, alternated with radiolarian beds. The Selli Level is regarded as the sedimentary expression of the OAE1a (Oceanic Anoxic Event 1a)...
