“…In contrast to this distribution pattern, the Ammobaculites Association (Haig 1979a, b;Haig 1992;Haig & Lynch 1993) inhabited the vast shallow sea that covered much of the interior of Australia during this time. The Ranmoor Member in the northern Eromanga Basin, of equivalent age to the basal Gearle Siltstone, contains an Ammobaculites Association assemblage with some Marssonella Association elements (Haig & Lynch 1993, p. 332-337).…”

“…Tethyan planktonic genera such as ~cinella and Biticinella are absent from these faunas, and this probably reflects cool surface waters (Haig 1979a(Haig , b, 1992. On the adjacent continental margin (at Ocean Drilling Program Site 766), Haig (1992) demonstrated that foraminiferal species with tethyan affinities first appeared in the oceanic plankton during the latest Albian, reflecting a significant warming of surface waters during this time. A similar change was recorded by Haig & Lynch (1993) on the New Guinea margin of the continent.…”

“…In the Australian region, coeval benthonic assemblages from the Marssonella Association are known (Table 5) from deep-sea calcareous ooze at ODP Site 766 (Haig 1992); calcareous mudstones of the Ieru Formation in the western Papuan Basin (Haig & Lynch 1993); calcareous mudstones of the Wolena Claystone in the Laura Basin (Haig 1980(Haig , 1982Haig & Lynch 1993); and calcareous mudstones of the Wilgunya Subgroup in the northern Carpentaria Basin (Haig 1980(Haig , 1982Haig & Lynch 1993).

“…The planktonic foraminifera place the basal Gearle Siltstone within the Hedbergella planispira Zone as defined in the Australian region from the upper part of the lower Albian through the lower part of the middle Albian (Haig 1979a;Haig 1992;Haig & Lynch 1993). The benthonic foraminiferal assemblage belongs to the Berthelina intermedia Zone (Haig 1979a;Haig & Lynch 1993) of early to middle Albian age.…”

Foraminiferal evidence for inner neritic deposition of Lower Cretaceous (Upper Aptian) radiolarian-rich black shales on the Western Australian margin

Abstract. Diverse foraminifera, Lingula-like brachiopods and the geological setting indicate that Aptian radiolarian-rich black shales forming the Windalia Radiolarite were deposited at water depths probably less than 40 m in the Southern Carnarvon Basin. Elsewhere in Australia, coeval radiolarian-rich deposits are widespread in other western-margin basins and in vast interior basins. The organic-rich mudstones containing the radiolaria include the foraminiferal Ammobaculites Association, a sparse benthic macrofauna and kerogens of mainly terrestrial plant origin. The deposits suggest that there was substantial high-nutrient freshwater input into the epeiric seas as well as high levels of dissolved silica resulting from marine flooding of a mature silicate-rich landscape bordered on the eastern and western continental margins by large volcanic provinces. The widespread presence of organic-rich muds through the broad, shallow Southern Carnarvon Basin and through the coeval interior basins suggests that regional geomorphology controlled the distribution of eutrophic facies in the Australian Aptian rather than any global expansion of the oceanic oxygen minimum zone. The foraminiferal assemblage from the Windalia Radiolarite consists of calcareous hyaline benthic types (diverse Lagenida as well as abundant Lingulogavelinella, Epistomina and Coryphostoma) and organic-cemented agglutinated species (including common Ammobaculites humei, Haplophragmoides–Recurvoides spp., and Verneuilinoides howchini). Planktonic foraminifera are very rare and present only in the northern, more open part of the basin.

A major planktic foraminiferal species turnover accompanied by a dramatic reduction in shell size, a fundamental change in shell architecture, and a precipitous drop in the abundance of planktic relative to benthic species occurs across the Aptian/Albian boundary interval (AABI) at globally distributed deep-sea sections. Extinction of the large and distinctive planktic foraminifer Paraticinella eubejaouaensis, used to denote a level at or near the Aptian/ Albian boundary, coincides with the extinctions of relatively long-ranging

Aptian-Albian Foraminifers from Site 766, Cuvier Abyssal Plain, and Comparison with Coeval Faunas from the Australian Region

Abstract: The distribution of 79 foraminiferal species is recorded among 23 samples taken from Cores 123-776A-16R through 123-766A-25R. The benthic species belong to the Ammodiscidae, Ammosphaeroidinidae, Spiroplectamminidae,
