Annual Report 2013 of the Paleogene Deep-Water Benthic Foraminifera Working Group. A special volume of Micropaleontology has been edited containing selected contributions that were presented in 2012 in the 9th International Workshop on Agglutinated Foraminifera (IWAF-9). This volume will be published in 2014. During 2013 the Working Group continued the work on taxonomy and evolution […]
Report 2005 of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group The work of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group during 2004 and 2005 has focused on identifying stratigraphic events which could serve as guide horizons for the base of the Bartonian. The early focus of the working group was on identifying a biostratigraphic event that could serve as […]
Report 2006 of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group The work of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group during 2006 has continued its focus on the base of magnetic polarity chron 19N as a guide horizon for the base of the Bartonian. For the base of chron 19N to be a useful guide horizon for the base […]
Report 2007, 2008 and 2009 of the Lutetian/Bartonian Boundary Working Group: The work of the Lutetian-Bartonian Boundary Working Group during 2007, 2008 and has continued its focus on the base of magnetic polarity chron 19N as a guide horizon for the base of the Bartonian. For the base of chron 19N to be a useful […]
Report 2010 of the Lutetian/Bartonian Boundary Working Group Several scientists, coordinated by Coccioni (University of Urbino), re-investigated the Middle Eocene interval from the classical Contessa Highway section, near Gubbio, a possible candidate for the Bartonian GSSP. In search of a possible candidate section for the base Bartonian GSSP, the Middle Eocene sedimentary succession of the […]
Report 2011 of the Lutetian/Bartonian Boundary Working Group In search of a possible candidate section for the base Bartonian GSSP, the Middle Eocene sedimentary succession of the Contessa Highway section (CHS, near Gubbio, central Italy), was re-visited. Historically, this section has been the focus of important biostratigraphic studies on calcareous plankton (foraminifera and nannofossils) and […]
Annual Report 2008 of the Calcareous Nannofossils Working Group A short workshop of the Working group has been held during the 12 International Nannoplankton Association Conference (INA 12) in Lyon in September 2008. The main objectives of the working group should be: – to develop a taxonomic atlas and, in collaboration with the INA at […]
Annual Report 2009 of the Calcareous Nannofossils Working Group During this first year the Paleogene calcareous nannofossil working group has organized several meetings: -November 2008 at the University College of London under the banner of INA and the ISPS hosted by Paul Bown. During the meeting, attended by around 20 participants, we have agreed on […]
Annual Report 2010 of the Calcareous Nannofossils Working Group During this year the Paleogene calcareous nannofossil working group has continued its researches, investigating the major calcareous nannofossil turnover and distribution across the Danian-Selandian boundary, the PETM interval, the Ypresian/Lutetian and the Eocene/Oligocene boundary. Furthermore, in 2009-2010 a comprehensive Paleogene species list was uploaded to the […]
