The oldest evidence of eukaryotes in the fossil record comes from a recurrent assemblage of morphologically differentiated late Paleoproterozoic to early Mesoproterozoic microfossils. Although widely distributed, the principal constituents of this Tappania-DictyosphaeraValeria assemblage have not hitherto been recognized on Laurentia. We have recovered all three taxa from a shallow-water shale ...

The sedimentary strata were sampled in the lesser Himalayas to probe paleoenvironmental changes across Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary eastern Tethys. study provides an integrated lithologic and bio-sequence stratigraphic analysis, leading paleoecology interpretations. planktic foraminiferal limestone of late Cretaceous is overlain by lateritic sandstones sandy limestones, latter being Pal...

Planktonic foraminifera and major palynomorph groups (i.e. terrestrial, marine, and amorphous organic matter) of the Campanian-Selandian strata of the Gurpi Formation were studied to evaluate the changes in the Zagros paleobasin in southwestern Iran. Planktonic foraminifera were categorized into four morphotypes according to their paleodepth, extending from Morphotype 1, comprising surface gene...
