Abstract:Studies of high-latitude planktonic foraminiferal faunas indicate that certain biostratigraphic problems may be resolved by the application of bioevents among the three microperforate families, Guembelitriidae, Chiloguembelinidae and Tenuitellidae. With the aid of the scanning electron microscope, these small tests appear to be useful stratigraphic markers in the condensed sequences of deep-sea cores, where their evolution can be correlated with magnetostratigraphy.In the early-mid-Eocene, the Jenkinsina-Cassi… Show more
“…The FAD of Tenuitella gemma is recorded at Site 1090 just above, or in coincidence with, the exit of G. index. According to Radford and Li (1993), Tenuitella evolved from . This bioevent occurs in the older half of C13r at Site 1090.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
