Larger foraminifera represented by the porcellaneous imperforate tests such as Archaias and Peneroplis may point to the depositional environment being within the photic zone in tropical carbonate platforms and slightly hypersaline [17, 35, 37, 54]. planktonic foraminifera such as Globigerinoides diminutus, Globigerinoides sicanus, and Orbu-lina universa indicate the middle Miocene or N9 (Bolli and Sanders, 1985). %PDF-1.4

Foraminifera are microscopic marine protozoans that construct an encasing shell or test often preserved as microfossils in great abundance in marine sediments. 'Larger' Foraminifera. Paleobathymetry—the determination of ancient water depth (paleodepth)—is the paleoenvironmental interpretation most widely used in petroleum exploration because of its value in determining the depositional history of a basin.

9B), clustering into three assemblages (Fig. �*�00 We conclude that foraminifera potentially provide a tool to disentangle primary carbon signals from post-depositional degradation and loss of carbon because of their environmental sensitivity and high preservation potential in the sedimentary record.

Benthic foraminifera include two major types of foraminifera. The area where sediment accumulates and is later buried by other sediment is known as its depositional environment. The debates on the depositional environment of foraminiferal fossils have become the hot spot of researches again in China. Agglutinated foraminifera are benthic microfossils found in rocks of Cambrian through Holocene age and in most marine and brackish environments, particularly in clastic facies. 36 depositional origin or is a combination of the two.
