Miocene deep water agglutinated foraminifera from Viosca Knoll, offshore Louisiana (Gulf of Mexico) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
An exploration well from the Gulf of Mexico, Amoco Viosca Knoll-915, has been studied in order to document the Neogene foraminiferal assemblages. Ditch cuttings samples from the Amoco V.K.

Downcurrent variation in submarine channel‐fill architecture from the shelf to upper slope

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition between the shelf and the upper slope is often considered an area of sediment bypass, where steeper gradients increase flow velocities and maintain particles in suspension. In addition to transferring sediments into deeper basins, upper‐slope areas can also host channelised submarine deposits.

Foraminiferal morphogroups of the Early–Middle Cretaceous succession in northeastern Rafsanjan and their significance as palaeoenvironmental bioindicators [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches
Foraminiferal morphogroups reveal their responses to palaeoenvironmental and palaeoecological changes. The foraminiferal morphogroups of the early-mid Cretaceous in northeastern Rafsanjan have been investigated with an interest in palaeoenvironmental ...

Tectonic Forcing of Diachronous Salt Deposition During the Badenian Salinity Crisis Revealed by U–Pb Dating of Tephra Overlying Tuzla Basin Evaporites

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the Middle Miocene Badenian Salinity Crisis (BSC), extensive evaporites formed across different tectonic settings in the Central Paratethys. Limited age constraints hamper evaporite correlation and identification of driving mechanisms. Here, we use U–Pb dating of zircon by LA‐ICP‐MS from tephra overlying the Tuzla Basin evaporites.

Environmental DNA sheds new insight on molecular adaptation of foraminifera to temperature from laboratory‐controlled culture experiment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Foraminifera is the most important temperature proxy of the ocean on long time scales. However, the absence of temperature‐controlled experiments at different water depths hinders the advancement of paleotemperature reconstruction with foraminifera from ...

Does foraminiferal test size reflect changes in palaeoenvironmental conditions?—a case study from the southern Svalbard shelf

open access: yesPolar Research, 2020
Although the environmental factors influencing the growth rate and reproduction of benthic foraminifera are known, the relationship between foraminifera test size and environmental variables remains unclear, especially on geological timescales.

The Year 2000 classification of the agglutinated foraminifera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A reclassification of the agglutinated foraminifera (subclass Textulariia) is presented, consisting of four orders, 17 suborders, 27 superfamilies, 107 families, 125 subfamilies, and containing a total of 747 valid genera.

Exploring the controls on element ratios in middle Eocene samples of the benthic foraminifera Oridorsalis umbonatus [PDF]

open access: yes
Culturing studies and empirically based core top calibrations have been used to infer that elemental ratios in benthic foraminifera can be used as proxies to reconstruct past variations in bottom water temperature and saturation state (Δ [CO32 ...

Biostratigraphy of the Ruteh Formation at Harijan section (Central Alborz) northern Iran using foraminifera and conodont [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In order to study the fossil contents of the Ruteh Formation for biostratigraphical purposes, the 200 meters thick section was sampled at Harijan section, Central Alborz. The sequence is mainly made up of limestone and shale's.
