Notes: Dark blue = nannofossils, pink = foraminifers, light blue = diatoms. For first occurrences (FO), depth is plotted as the midpoint between the depth at which the species was first observed and the depth of the sample below. For last occurrences (LO), depth is plotted as the midpoint between the depth at which the species was last observed and the depth of the sample above. LcO = last common occurrence, FaO = first abundant occurrence, FcO = first common occurrence. d = dextral, s = sinistral. * = from Martini (1971).
