New and poorly known Middle Jurassic larger benthic foraminifera from the Karst Dinarides of Croatia
نویسنده
چکیده
Some new and poorly known larger benthic foraminifera are described from Middle Jurassic (Upper Aalenian–Bajocian) shallow-water limestones of the Croatian Karst Dinarides. Cymbriaella lorigae FUGAGNOLI is reported for the fi rst time outside its type-locality, the Upper Pliensbachian of the Southern Alps. New taxa described include Bosniella bassoulleti n. sp. and Dubrovnikella septfontainei n. gen., n. sp. (family Biokovinidae). Both Cymbriaella lorigae FUGAGNOLI and Everticyclammina praevirguliana FUGAGNOLI are reported for the fi rst time from Middle Jurassic strata. The new fi ndings enlarge the stratigraphic ranges and allow further insights into the phylogenetic evolution of the larger benthic foraminifera during the Early to Middle Jurassic period.

Stratigraphy of the Upper Jurassic shallow marine carbonates of the Moghan area (NW Iran), with paleobiogeography implication on Alveosepta jaccardi (Schrodt, 1894)
A micropaleontological study has been carried out on the samples collected from the Sarv Abad section, the oldest and only known Jurassic sedimentary rocks cropping out in the Moghan area. Studied sequence consists of carbonates bounded at both base and top by clastic deposits. Studied carbonate deposits provide an assemblage of benthic foraminifera as well as calcareous algae. The stratigraphi...

Analysis of benthic foraminiferal assemblages was performed in Callovian deposits of the Farsian Formation Northeastern Alborz; Iran. The sequence of Callovian at the Goznawwi area consists mainly of soft marls , which contain high-diversity calcareous assemblages. In this foraminiferal succession nine morphogroups were differentiated according to shell architecture (general shape, mode of coil...

The larger benthic foraminifera Gyroconulina columellifera Schroeder & Darmoian, 1977 (type-locality: Maastrichtian Aqra Formation of Iraq) is described for the first time from two sections of the Maastrichtian Tarbur Formation of the Zagros Fold-Thrust-Belt, SW Iran. New details on its wall microstructure are provided. The microfacies is represented by bioclastic wacke-/pack-/grainstones with ...

Carbonate sediments have been deposited in oceans and seas from the Proterozoic up to the present day. Their palaeogeographic distribution, extent and composition changed substantially through time. Recent carbonate platforms are closely linked with reef constructions, but, during the past, non-reefal carbonate production played an important role in the periods of the depressed reef-growth (KIE...

Study of a late Late Santonian to Late Campanian hemipelagic succession from Abtalkh Formation at the Bahadorkhan section (Central Kopet-Dagh) enabled us to verify paleoecology changes based on planktonic and benthic foraminifera assemblage. Bahadorkhan section is consisted of calcareous shale, lime marl, marl, and a few dispersed chalky limestone beds. Upper and lower boundaries of Abtalkh For...
