Three new miliolid taxa from Bessarabian sediments from Georgia (Eastern Paratethys) are described following the classification of Łuczkowska (1972), which has never been used before by ex-Soviet micropaleontologists. They are: Varidentella luczkowskae; Varidentella reussi (Bogdanowicz) subsp. costulata; and Affinetrina voloshinovae (Bogdanowicz) subsp. eldarica. This classification takes into...

Chondrichthyan teeth (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) are mineralized in isotopic equilibrium with the surrounding water, and parameters such as water temperature and salinity can be inferred from the oxygen isotopic composition (δ18Op) of their bioapatite. We analysed a new chondrichthyan assemblage, as well as teeth from bony fish (Pycnodontiformes). All specimens are from Kimmeridgian coastal...

Les dépôts oligocènes marins, situés dans la partie distale du bassin molassique suisse et dans le prolongement sud du fossé rhénan, sont constitués par les groupes stratigraphiques suivants: les Conglomérats de Porrentruy, le Septarienton et le Meeressand. Cette série sédimentaire a fait l’objet d’études stratigraphiques, sédimentologiques et paléontologiques détaillées. Trois...

During the TTR-17 Leg 1 cruise in the West Alboran Basin, gravity cores were acquired from three mud volcanoes (MVs): Dhaka, Carmen and the recently discovered Maya. This paper presents micropaleontological and radiocarbon dating results from the three mud volcanoes, using cores containing mud breccias overlain by and interbedded with hemipelagic sediments. At Dhaka MV, the mud-breccia matrix...

Schackoinella spina n. sp. has been found in the eastern Alboran Sea at five different stations in water depths ranging from 258–330 m, as well as in one 532 m deep station in the Gulf of Cádiz, north-eastern Atlantic Ocean. Three stations have been sampled with a giant box core (BC) and two stations with a gravity core (GC) system. The sediments of the BCs and the GCs are characterized by...

We present a recently developed method using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FEG) to view and photograph microfossil specimens that are not coated by conductive material. The FEG microscope provides high electron flux and offers the option to capture images at low beam voltage. Balancing incident energy with absorbed energy from the detector leads to charge-free images of...

The species Globotruncana (Rotalipora) reicheli and Gobotruncana (Rotalipora) montsalvensis, were established in 1949 by Mornod. The two holotypes were figured only by drawings and the specimens were never made publicly available. Since their first description, these two species have acquired great importance as biostratigraphic markers. However, holotypes had been considered as...

The abundant occurrence of reworked microfossils within the paleogeographically restricted Upper Rhine Graben of central Europe represents a unique opportunity to investigate their inherent information, allowing new insights into the paleogeographic framework and past sedimentary pathways. In the late Rupelian and early Chattian a transgression-regression cycle linked to the global Ru2–Ru3...

The planktonic foraminifera Rotalipora klausi Lehmann, 1966 and Globotruncana? semsalensis Corminboeuf, 1961, were figuredonly by drawings and the specimens were never made publicly available, although deposited in the collections of the Departmentof Geosciences, Fribourg, Switzerland. We present here for the first time their Scanning Electron Microscope documentation andcomparison with the...
