Albian microbiostratigraphy (foraminifera and Ostracoda) of S.E. England and adjacent areas

Abstract

The microfauna (foraminifera and Ostracoda) of the Albian Stage has been thoroughly documented by previous authors and many zonal schemes have been proposed. While these schemes have been defined on very thorough research, the majority have been defined on one fossil group, and occasionally on one genus or several genera. This project attempts to refine the existing zonation based on foraminifera, to correlate it with the existing Ammonite zonal scheme, and propose a detailed zonation based on Ostracoda which have been integrated with both the zonal schemes mentioned above. To achieve this, the stratigraphically most continuous sections were examined.
