Transatlantic Correlation of the Oligo-Miocene by Means of Foraminifera

Pelagic Foraminifera in the Tertiary of Victoria

“…It is noteworthy that in Victoria (and also in New Zealand- Hornibrook, 1958) Globoquadrina dehiscens makes its first appearance significantly earlier than Globigerinoides triloba. In Europe the reverse is the case (Drooger, 1956). This unit corresponds to the base of the Miocene (i.e.…”

Stratigraphic variation inGlobigerinoides trilobus trilobus(Reuss) from the lower miocene of Europe, Trinidad, and New Zealand

“…N2/550, lowest of the three Parengarenga samples, may be slightly lower than S136/794, Rifle Butts Formation, Oamaru. Altonian beds above the Clifden Limestone are, in Drooger (1956) and supported by Jenkins (1964), is that Orbulina appears in post-Burdigalian rocks. In effect their view is that the initial correlation by Eames et al (1962) of the type Aquitanian and Burdigalian rocks with sequences in the southern Mediterranean is faulty.…”

Planktonic foraminiferal zones in the upper tertiary of Taranaki, New Zealand

“…In' New Zealand Globioerinoides triloba appears significantly later than Globoquadrina debiscens, as in Australia (Carter, 1958), but contrary, to the findings in Europe (Drooger, 1956) and the Caribbean area (Bolli, 1957). Recently, Globiverinoides triloba has been found in the uppermost part of the Globigerina venezuelana zone (Hornibrook, 1961, p. 152).…”
