“…Kaiho & Nishimura 1992). These species also provide evidence of dysoxic and highly productive conditions (Corliss & Chen 1988). The occurrence of trochamminid species and bathyal benthic foraminifers in the upper part of the Lučenec Formation indicates a deepeningupward basin during the Egerian time.…”

Oligocene and Lower Miocene sediments of the Lučenec Depression were studied to demonstrate the planktonic bioevents and climatic proxies from the Číž Formation (Rupelian) and Lučenec Formation (Chattian-Aquitanian) on the basis of quantitative analyses of foraminifers and calcareous nannofossils. The oldest nannofossil assemblages of the Číž Formation belonged to the NP23 Zone and were dominated by Reticulofenestra ornata known for preference of temperate eutrophic water conditions. An increase in bioproductivity was documented by abundant large-sized planktonic foraminifers (e.g. Turborotalia ampliapertura, Paragloborotalia nana, Subbotina gortanii) and epifaunal to shallow-infaunal benthic species. The middle part of the Číž Formation reveals a lowstand progradation of deltaic sediments of the Rapovce Member. There, the planktonic foraminifers are impoverished in both size and diversity, containing mostly tenuitellid and cassigerinellid species, probably as a result of decreased salinity and increased anoxia in the Tard Clay. Contrary of this, the benthic foraminifers are rich, mainly the infaunal forms of uvigerinid species. They probably proliferated due to a high organic flux from riverine input.

In order to study the fossil contents of the Ziarat-kola section for biostratigraphical purposes the 212 meters was sampled at Central Alborz. The sequence is mainly made up of monotonous grey-green to light grey marl. Based on Planktonic foraminifera age of Maastrichtian-Danian is determined to the section.Four zone were determined by the benthic foraminifera morphogroup for showing oxygen and productivy change. The approximate Low oxygen and high food supply has been indicates zone of one that increase infauna to epifauna morphotype percent is low(nearness 60% infouna , 40% epifauna). In zone two, with due attention to equal percent of Epifauna ratio to infauna , intermediate oxygen and food supply is anticipated .The decrasing epifauna foraminifera and increasing infauna demonstrates low oxygen and high food supply condition at zone of three. In zone four, increasing epifauna (approximate 90 percent) that are indicated high oxygen condition and low food supply. Analysis of planktonic foraminifera assemblage at this section with Cretaceous biostratigraphical provinces is indicating a close similarity with Tethyan provinces.
