TL;DR: In this article, a modified classification of foraminifera in the Recent sediments of the Pacific is discussed within the framework of a modified classifier for two families, Globigerinidae and Globorotaliidae.
Abstract: "Planktonic species of foraminifera in the Recent sediments of the Pacific are discussed within the framework of a modified classification. Two families, Globigerinidae and Globorotaliidae, are represented. The family affiliation of Globigerinita and Candeina is uncertain. Genera are reclassified with added stress on the characteristic of some to have long, thin spines as a floating mechanism. Three new species, Globigerina calida, Globorotalia pumilio, and Globigerinita iota, are described. Gross distributional data in the south Pacific are given for each species."
TL;DR: An expanded sediment record at El Kef shows that the K/T boundary extinctions of planktic foraminifera extend over an interval from 25 cm below the geochemical boundary (Ir anomaly) to 7 cm above as mentioned in this paper.
TL;DR: The following Foraminifera are of stratigraphic importance in New Zealand and especially in the Waipara district: Pseudoclavulina anglica Cushman (Teurian); Sigmoilopsis neocelata nsp (Duntroonian? Waitakian to Altonian); S compressa nsp, (Awamoan and Altonians), Buliminella waiparaensis nsp(Haumurian and Teurian), Bolivina fyfei nsp), (Kapitean to Nuk
Abstract: Summary The following Foraminifera are of stratigraphic importance in New Zealand and especially in the Waipara district: Pseudoclavulina anglica Cushman (Teurian); Sigmoilopsis neocelata nsp (Duntroonian? Waitakian to Altonian); S compressa nsp, (Awamoan and Altonian); Buliminella waiparaensis nsp (Haumurian and Teurian); Bolivina fyfei nsp, (Kapitean to Nukumaruan); Loxostomum pakaurangiensis nsp (Awarnoan to Waiauan): Notorotalia wilsoni nsp (Altonian to Waiauan); Notorotalia aranea nsp (Otaian? Hutchinsonian and Awamoan); Globigerina pseudoiota Hornibrook (Waipawan and Mangaorapan); G gravelli Bronniman (Waipawan ): G soldadoensis Bronniman (Waipawan); Globorotalia zealandica nsp (Awamoan and Altonian); Cibicides thiaracuta n sp (Altonian to Tongaporutuan)
TL;DR: Foraminiferal and coccolithophorid assemblages in the six northernmost cores suggest there has existed a uniform water mass with minimal variations from 45°N to above 55°N as discussed by the authors.
