Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy and paleoecology of Upper Cretaceous deposits from the Palmyride Region, Syria by Gabrijela Pecimotika, Blanka Cvetko Tešović, Vlasta Premec Fućek

“…<p>This study represents a detailed micropaleontological investigation of the composition and diversity of planktonic foraminiferal assemblages from the Upper Turonian to Maastrichtian interval of two deep exploration wells (Al Mahr-1 and Palmyra-1) in the Palmyride area of Syria. In combination with a litostratigraphic analysis, this detailed biostratigraphic study provided important new paleoecological and paleoclimatic interpretations and insights into the nature of deposition along the northern passive margin of Gondwana during the Late Cretaceous.…”
