“…Similar stratigraphic conditions are found in several of the western marginal basins of Africa such as the Gabon and Bas-Congo-Cabinda basins (Franks and Nairn, 1973). On the southeastern side of Africa several prominent unconformities and transgressive units are present in the Cenomanian to Campanian (Lambert, 1971;Sigal, 1974). On Madagascar this interval is characterized by a series of interfingering marine and continental units and two basalt flows (Sigal, 1974).…”

From 12 radiolarian-rich claystone samples of the DSDP-:Leg 25, Site 249, situated in the western Indian Ocean southwest of Madagascar 4 species of agglutinated and 38 species of calcareous benthonic foraminifera are described, 13 of them in open nomenclature. As a lot of Valanginian species and Gavelindla barremiana occur in the foraminiferal :Faunas described here a Valanginian-Hauterivian age is assigned to them. These microfaunas investigated here yleld some index species characteristic in the Lower Cretaceous deposits of Northern Germany and also from the near-by [Madagascar. Nodosariids dominate in a striking way with 36 species, especially of Astacolus, Citharina, Lenticulina, Lingulina, Marginulinopsis, Nodosaria, Saracenaria, and Vaginulina. Important Neocomian species well-known from other DSDP sites, namely Praedorothia ouachensis (SIGAL) and planktonic foraminifers, are missing. The microfaunas of Site 249 have to he derived from shelf areas.
