Uppermost Maastrichtian benthic foraminiferal assemblages (N63 Am) are diverse, indicating mesotrophic conditions in lower bathyal DSDP Hole 465A (Hess Rise, central North Pacific), in 4 lower bathyal land sections in central-East and Northeastern Mexico, and in the upper to middle bathyal Agost section (Tethys area, Southeastern Spain). They indicate more eutrophic conditions in lower bathyal ...

The distribution of benthic foraminifera across the Paleocene/Eocene (P/E) Boundary of the Contessa Road section allows us to compare the response of both calcareous hyaline and Deep Water Agglutinated Foraminiferal (DWAF) assemblages to the terminal Paleocene Benthic Extinction Event (BEE). The two groups are contemporaneously affected by the terminal Paleocene events. Quantitative analysis re...
