Two Late Cenomanian – Early Turonian (C–T) intervals of the eastern part of the Kopet-Dagh basin, NE Iran have been investigated to evaluate the response of planktonic foraminifera to the geological event OAE2. The Gharesu and Taherabad sections with the

Planktonic foraminifera-derived environmental DNA extracted from abyssal sediments preserves patterns of plankton macroecology [PDF]
Deep-sea sediments constitute a unique archive of ocean change, fueled by a permanent rain of mineral and organic remains from the surface ocean. Until now, paleo-ecological analyses of this archive have been mostly based on information from taxa ...

Palaeogene triserial planktonic foraminifera [PDF]
Abstract. Triserial planktonic foraminiferal species from the Palaeogene are classified into the Early Danian Guembelitria, with pore mounds on the test surface, and the Early Eocene-Late Oligocene Jenkinsina, which are also microperforate but lack pore mounds. The stratigraphic and palaeogeographic ranges are discussed, the holotype of G.

Sea surface temperature changes in the southern California borderlands during the last glacial-interglacial cycle [PDF]
A variety of evidence suggests that average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) during the last glacial maximum in the California Borderlands region were significantly colder than during the Holocene.

Burdigalian-Langhian foraminifera of the northwest High Zagros Thrust Belt, southwest Iran
The foraminiferal contents of the lower–middle Miocene succession exposed in three sections in north Nur Abad on the northwestern side of the High Zagros Thrust Belt were studied.

Calcium isotopic composition of high-latitude proxy carrier Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (sin.) [PDF]
The accurate reconstruction of sea surface temperature (SST) history in climate-sensitive regions (e.g. tropical and polar oceans) became a challenging task in palaeoceanographic research.

Paleoceanographic studies often rely on abundance changes in microfossil species, with little consideration for characteristics such as organism size, which may also be related to environmental changes.

Changing atmospheric Δ^(14)C and the record of deep water paleoventilation ages [PDF]
We propose a new calculation method to better estimate the deep water ventilation age from benthic-planktonic foraminifera ^(14)C ages. Our study is motivated by the fact that changes in atmospheric Δ^(14)C through time can cause contemporary benthic and

Field investigation, biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and sedimentary microfacies analyses, as well as diagenetic processes characterization, were carried out in the Epirus region (Western Ionian Basin) to define the depositional environments and ...

Triassic and Jurassic possible planktonic foraminifera and the assemblages recovered from the Ogrodzieniec Glauconitic Marls Formation (uppermost Callovian and lowermost Oxfordian, Jurassic) of the Polish Basin [PDF]
In the 1960s and 1970s Werner Fuchs of the Austrian Geological Survey (Vienna) described a significant number of new foraminiferal taxa that he considered ancestral to the planktonic foraminifera. All these taxa are well-curated in the collections of the
