Late Cretaceous planktonic foraminiferal bioevents in the Tethys and in the Southern Ocean record: an overview
The Late Cretaceous planktonic foraminiferal distribution recorded at several drill sites (Deep Sea Drilling Project and Ocean Drilling Program) in the South Atlantic and south Indian Ocean and from sediment outcrops in the Tethyan region (Gubbio and El Kef) have been analyzed in order to investigat...
