Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An up-to-date atlas of an important fossil and living group, with the Natural History Museum. Deep-sea benthic foraminifera have played a central role in biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleoceanographical research for over a century. These single–celled marine protists are important because of their geographic ubiquity, distinction morphologies and rapid evolutionary rates, their abundance and diversity deep–sea sediments, and because of their utility as indicators of environmental conditions both at and below the sediment–water interface. In addition, stable isotopic data obtained from deep–sea benthic foraminiferal tests provide paleoceanographers with environmental information that is proving to be of major significance in studies of global climatic change. This work collects together, for the first time, new morphological descriptions, taxonomic placements, stratigraphic occurrence data, geographical distribution summaries, and palaeoecological information, along with state-of-the-art colour photomicrographs (most taken in reflected light, just as you would see them using light microscopy), of 300 common deep-sea benthic foraminifera species spanning the interval from Jurassic - Recent. This volume is intended as a reference and research resource for post-graduate students in micropalaeontology, geological professionals (stratigraphers, paleontologists, paleoecologists, palaeoceanographers), taxonomists, and evolutionary (paleo)biologists.
Book Synopsis Pacific - Atlantic Mollusc Migration by : Jón Eiríksson
Download or read book Pacific - Atlantic Mollusc Migration written by Jón Eiríksson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-17 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume sheds new light on the marine fauna and geological setting of the Tjörnes Sequence, North Iceland, which is a classic site for the Pliocene and Pleistocene stratigraphy of the North Atlantic region. Readers will discover descriptions of new data collected by the editors over a period of over three decades on marine faunal assemblages and sedimentology available for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, as well as the tectonic and stratigraphical relationships on Tjörnes Peninsula. The book includes a comprehensive account of all the collections of marine fossil invertebrate macrofossils and foraminifera known to the editors from the Tjörnes Sequence. It is expected to elucidate sedimentological and faunal changes from relatively stable Pliocene conditions to highly variable and periodically harsh climatic conditions of recurring Quaternary glaciations. The distribution, recent or fossil, of various species is recorded and pertinent ecological and biological features are also discussed. The Tjörnes Sequence records the Neogene migration of Pacific species into the North Atlantic. Researchers in geology, climate science, environmental science and earth science will find this book particularly valuable.

Book Synopsis DISTRIBUTION AND TAXONOMY OF MODERN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA OF THE WESTERN SUNDA SHELF (SOUTH CHINA SEA) OFF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. by : Samuel Q Martin
Download or read book DISTRIBUTION AND TAXONOMY OF MODERN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA OF THE WESTERN SUNDA SHELF (SOUTH CHINA SEA) OFF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA. written by Samuel Q Martin and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates, for the first time, the distribution and taxonomy of modern benthic foraminifera from the western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea. The uppermost centimeter of 54 surface sediment samples ([greater than] 150 [mu]m) from nearshore (8 m) to inner shelf (60 m) water depths yielded 125 species. Five sample groups (CGT1–5) are recognized by cluster analysis of the total (live + dead) foraminiferal relative abundance data. Discriminant analysis and ANOVA both revealed that the five groups are statistically distinguishable at the 95% confidence level. The distribution of groups is related to variations in depth (as a proxy for several environmental factors) and substrate grain-size. This relationship is confirmed by canonical correspondence analysis. CGT1, located closest to shore (8–14 m water depth), has a high diversity assemblage (49 species) and is characterized by Amphistegina radiata and Amphistegina lessonii. CGT1 occurs in medium to coarse quartz sand substrates likely derived from the nearby Terengganu River with the exception of a single station (TR1-S2). This site is characterized by a mud substrate, the taxa Ammobaculites exiguus, Millettiana millettii, Planorbulina acervalis, and Rosulina globularis, and an unusually high relative abundance (3%) of planktonic foraminifera. CGT2 (21–22 m) has a lower diversity assemblage (33 species) and is strongly dominated by A. radiata and A. lessonii, often with tests infilled by the authigenic mineral berthierine. CGT2 occurs in gravelly quartz sand substrates. CGT3 (32–41 m) occurs in shelly muddy quartz sand substrates, has a high diversity assemblage (46 species), and is characterized by Assilina ammonoides, Discorbinella bertheloti, and Asterorotalia milletti. Like CGT2, berthierine-rich internal molds of Amphistegina tests are common. CGT4 (44–59 m) occurs in mud substrates and is characterized by Heterolepa dutemplei and A. milletti; the nearshore taxa A. radiata and A. lessonii do not occur in this group. CGT4 has the highest diversity assemblage (51 species) of all the sample groups and foraminiferal tests are well preserved. CGT5, located furthest from shore at 60 m water depth and in shelly sandy mud, has a high diversity assemblage (46 species) and is characterized by H. dutemplei and A. ammonoides, with rare A. milletti; live (rose Bengal-stained) specimens are rare in CGT5 compared to the other four groups. Comparison to foraminiferal assemblages in underlying Pleistocene core material suggests this assemblage occurs in a lag deposit possibly associated with modern bottom current activity. Combining the results of this study with previously published research, three generalized foraminifera-based subdivisions are recognized across the Sunda Shelf (8–200 m water depth). Nearshore areas ([less than] 40 m) are dominated by fine to coarse sand substrates and symbiont-bearing taxa (A. lessonii and A. radiata). Inner shelf areas (40–100 m) are associated with sandy mud substrates and high relative abundances of H. dutemplei. Outer shelf areas (100–200 m) are associated with muddy substrates and the presence of Uvigerina schwageri. These data can be used as the basis for paleoenviromental reconstruction of Quaternary core material from the Sunda Shelf.

Download or read book PaleoBase: Deep Sea Benthic Foraminifera written by Ann Holbourn and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benthic foraminifera have played a central role in deep-sea biostratigraphic, paleoecological, and paleoceanographical research over the last thirty years. These single-celled marine protists are important because of their geographic ubiquity, their abundance and diversity in Cretaceous to Recent deep-sea sediments, because of the relationship between occurrence of many modern species and particular water masses, and because of their utility as indicators of environmental conditions both at and below the sediment-water interface. In addition, stable isotopes obtained from deep-sea benthic foraminiferal tests provide paleoceanographers with environmental information that is proving to be of major significance in studies of global climatic change. PaleoBase: Deep-Sea Benthic Foraminifera presents the latest taxonomic revision for 300 species in the form of an illustrated, state-of-the-art relational database. Relying primarily on material collected by the Deep-Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Programme (ODP) for examples of characteristic deep-sea species, and containing over 1,000 colour, digital composite illustrations of unprecendented accuracy, this database represents a significant step forward in the presentation of systematic information in general, and microfossil systematics in particular. For this first time, consistent and reliable information for each species morphology, taxonomy, synonymy, bathymetery, paleoecology, chronostratigraphy, biostratigraphy is summarized in one place and in a searchable format. In addition, the database contains a morphological key for each species and citations to over 350 references from the primary scientific literature. PaleoBase: Deep-Sea Benthic Foraminifera provides earth scientists effectively instant access to all the information necessary to make accurate biostratigraphic, palaeoceanographical and palaeoecological interpretations based on benthic foraminiferal data in a structured, easy-to-use manner. The database will be invaluable to professional micropaleontologists, researchers, and students of micropalaeontology. Approximately 350 foram genera. 1000 stunning high resolution images, including SEMs. Fully searchable data on ecology, range, synonomy, biogeography etc. Full references.
