| Abstract |
The paper summarizes the biostratigraphic results of eighteen dives of the French submersible Cyana at the Mazagan Escarpment (CYAMAZ cruise), based on calcareous nannoplankton and foraminifera. This paper is restricted to the study of the Early Cretaceous to Quaternary post-platform series. Most of the stratigraphical data are based on the determination of calcareous nannofossils (P. Cepek) which, however, are mostly poorly preserved and of rare occurrence. From the 170 studied subsamples 49 are barren of calcareous samples are listed according to the species epithets, separated for the Cretaceous and Tertiary. The biostratigraphy based on foraminifera and the microfacies was studied in thin-section (H. hagn). Foraminiferal microfaunas of Late Cretaceous, Paleocene, Eocene-Oligocene and Quaternary age are described and shown in Plates. |
