Abstract Eustatic controls on Early Cretaceous (Aptian) sedimentation in the western Tethys
are discerned in outcrops of carbonate platforms that developed in the Maestrat rift basin …

The published literature concerning Lower to mid-Cretaceous (late Barremian–Albian, early
Cenomanian) Tibetan Orbitolinidae suggests an apparent extreme high diversity with almost …

Annular chambers, if present, are usually confined to ultimate chambers within some
Orbitolinidae, and were therefore regarded of subordinate importance not being included in …

Following a literature review of the species of Orbitolina and its allies, the identity criteria and
stratigraphic ranges of the six potential constituent species of the commonly encountered …

Lower Cretaceous carbonate successions outcrop extensively along the northern Tethyan
margin in the Kopet-Dagh (NE Iran) and Yazd Block (Central Iran). These carbonate units …

In this contribution, two stratigraphic sections are described through the Lower Cretaceous
shallow-water platform sediments (Taft formation) from the northern Tethys, which are …

Species diff erentiation within the genus Mesorbitolina Schroeder 1962 is primarily based on
the general structure of the megalospheric embryo and its biometrics. The taxonomy of three …

Abstract Gheiasvand et al.(2020) use the two larger benthic foraminifera species
Simplorbitolina manasi Ciry & Rat and Mesorbitolina parva (Douglass)(Orbitolinidae) as …

Orbitolinidae together with other larger benthic foraminifera are particularly important in
Lower Cretaceous shallow-water biostratigraphy provided that they are correctly identified …

Microfossils have been found in most of theMesozoic basins of Brazil, allowing the
establishment of important biozones. Despite being recognized for more than half century in …
