BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA AND GEOCHEMISTRY ACROSS THE PALEOCENE-EOCENE THERMAL MAXIMUM INTERVAL IN JORDAN KU Leuven
© 2018 Cushman Foundation. All rights reserved. This study presents benthic foraminiferal data from two sedimentary successions across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) from Jordan. Calcareous nannofossil biozones NP9a, NP9b, and NP10 of latest Paleocene and earliest Eocene age were encountered in proximal (core OS-01) and distal (core OS-28) sites. Lithologically, the investigated sequence consists of marls, shales, and limestones ...
Living benthic foraminifera from cold-water coral ecosystems in the eastern Alboran Sea, Western Mediterranean Ghent University
Benthic foraminifera (protists with biomineralized tests) coupled with geochemical proxies are used for the first time to characterize present oceanographic conditions occurring in cold-water coral ecosystems (CWC) in the eastern Alboran Sea (Brittlestar Ridge and Cablier Mound), western Mediterranean Sea. Quantitative data on living (stained) benthic foraminifera from 5 box cores retrieved during the MD194 cruise on the RV Marion Dufresne ...
Evidence for specific adaptations of fossil benthic foraminifera to anoxic-dysoxic environments KU Leuven
It has generally been argued that the majority 8 of fossil benthic foraminifera, the most common proxy for paleo bottom oceanic conditions, could not tolerate anoxia. Here we present evidence that fossil foraminifera were able to successfully colonize anoxic–dysoxic bottom waters, by using adaptations similar to those found in living species. Our study is based on a multi-proxy micropaleontological and geochemical investigation of the Upper ...
