a sequence of permian rocks crops out in northwest of khur in central alborz, north of iran. this sequence consists of the dorud (asselian-sakmarian), ruteh (artinskian-murgabian) and nesen (early djulfian) formations. the ruteh and nesen formations in alborz range were deposited in a shallow marine environment of the continental margin in the paleo-tethys. the ruteh formation with a thickness ...

The spatial distribution of benthic foraminiferal assemblage of Nayband Bay and Haleh Estuary in the North-West of the Persian Gulf, was explored during 2011-2012 . The relationship between spatial pattern of foraminifera assemblages and the ambient factors (i.e. water temperature, salinity, pH, dissolved oxygen, sediment grain size distribution, sediment organic content, and CaCO3 concentrati...

ABSTRACT Perched marshes in Lunenburg County differ exposure to prevailing waves (from most least exposed: Crescent Beach, Blue Rocks, Feltzen South). We sampled the middle marsh, recording replicates’ dried masses. In picking stage 1 (PS1), first 400 foraminifera, whether agglutinated or calcareous-walled, were picked and identified. From these data we calculated Shannon Function H compared be...

All published distributional data on recent benthic foraminifera of the North American Atlantic continental margin were archived into computerized catalogs. Cluster analysis of these data delimited seven large, marginally overlapping provinces exhibiting a congruous relationship with western North Atlantic water masses. The single major latitudinal faunal change occurs at Cape Hatteras.
