ABSTRACT Microporous carbonate rocks typically record complex diagenetic histories driven by microbial activity and fluid interactions within multiple diagenetic environments. The relative roles of meteoric and burial diagenetic processes in pore evolution remain debated, particularly within Cretaceous carbonate systems of the Middle East, as does the ...

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.

Seasonal data on Rose Bengal stained foraminifera in the head of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
Current ‘Atlantification’ of the Arctic Ocean affects benthic communities leading to the changes in their structure and abundance. Such areas as Svalbard that are seasonally affected by Atlantic and Arctic water masses may give a possibility to ...

Microfacies Analysis of the Reefal Limestone, Marah Formation, East Borneo, Indonesia
Miau Baru, Kongbeng in East Borneo is a relatively narrow area with complex geological features. The abundance of larger benthic foraminifera shows diversity in the carbonate succession of the Marah Formation but previously has less attention ...

Sedimentation environment of the Cojimar Formation (Havana province) based on benthic foraminifera
Cojímar Formation, —Lower Miocene (upper part) to Middle Miocene (lower part)—, is a unit in Western Cuba well known for its extensive development and exposure outcrops. It has been widely used in bioestratigraphic studies.

Study of current benthic foraminifera as environmental bioindicators in the mediterranean coasts, northwest Morocco [PDF]
In this project, we introduce a novel methodology for analysing the environmental conditions in the coastal area of Martil (Tétouan, Morocco) using benthic foraminifera as bio-indicators of marine ecological status.

Dual clumped isotopes in foraminiferal calcite reveal kinetic bias in some species
Clumped isotope (∆47) analyses of foraminifera provide a powerful means to reconstruct upper and bottom water temperatures, independent of seawater δ18O and elemental composition.

Ecological significance of benthic foraminifera: 13C labelling experiments [PDF]
We examined the ability of foraminifera in taking up freshly deposited algal carbon in intertidal estuarine sediments. Lyophylized C-13-labelled axenic Chlorella was added to intact sediment cores containing natural benthic biota. The response of the system as a whole was rapid; similar to 5% of the added carbon was respired to CO2 within 6 h. Bacteria

An integrated facies, MS and XRF‐based approach applied to the Tithonian–Berriasian Sidi Khalif Formation (central Tunisia) resolves five Tithonian and eight Berriasian third‐order sequences, showing how mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelves record coupled eustatic, climatic and tectonic controls and providing a transferable template for similar mud ...
