Editor's explanation. p. 2- 3.

JOURNAL OF NANNOPLANKTON RESEARCH I INA NEWSLETTER EDITORS' EXPLANATIONAs is obvious we have made some major changes to our
publication, we like the end result and think it is a major
improvement on the old style Newsletter. But since manymembers have assured us that the Newsletter was a valued
friend we will try to explain the changes in some detailhere. We would be very intereted in any comments orsuggestions you have. and promise not be offended by any
criticism.
As mentioned in the last Newsletter we (BH. JRY)
had conceived the idea that by moving publication to the
Czech Republic we could both divide the workload in_volved in producing the newsletter and afford to increase
its content. This idea was debated further at Salamanca
amongst ourselves. at an INA committee meeting. and at
the INA business meeting. At the end of this the meeting(>80 members) voted overwhelmingly in favour of the
proposed changes and so we have implemented them. Thechanges essentially consist of four parts as explained
below. The total effect is perhaps more radical than wewould have liked. however, each change is. we feel. clearly
worthwhile. and it seems better in periodical publication
to have change concentrated in large steps rather thanconstantly tinkering with formats. etc.

Publication arrangement
The new system is for principal editing to remain in
London. by JRY and PRB. but for final editing. pagelayout and printing to be carried out in Hodonin by BH. As
before items for publication should be sent to the editor(JRY). although PRB and BH will also have responsibility
to try to encourage submission of material. Posting copy
to the Czech Republic may introduce a slight delay. but
since the editor (JRY) -will no longer be responsible fordesktop publishing he hopefully will be more efficient at
the editing. Articles with scientific content \\ill be critically read by the editor and/or deputy editor (PRB) before
publication and whenever appropriate sent out to referees.

Change in format
Moving page layout and printing to the Czech Republic
reduces the cost of these processes and means that one
editor (BH) is specifically responsible for them. This
allows us to make considerable improvements in this area.
In particular we have improved the cover quality, changed
to double column format. and introduced better print
quality. especially for plates. Hopefully even colour plates
will be possible. These changes do make a strong change
to the appearance of the publication but hopefully they area real improvement. We also will provide 25 reprints ofscientific articles.

Increase in content
This is more controversial and is discussed further below.
Broadly the concept is that as result of lower printing costs
we can-increase the amount of material in the publication_ It
is intended that all the existing material in the newsletter will
be retained but with the addition of extra scientific articles.
There will thus be no changes to the content in terms ofbibliographies, news items, book reviews, etc.

New title
The title change was proposed since we felt the existing
title was unduly informal and discouraged submissions ofarticles. By changing the title we could, hopefully, increase the number of submissions and the value of published articles to the contributors. This is analogous to theprevious change in JNA Afeetings to INA Conferences.
Both may be characterised as cynical moves to exploit a
corrupt system. or as timely repackagings to projecta more positive image within a competitive market
place.
Several alternative titles were suggested to themeeting with no special recommendation, including; nochange. Ill/A Journal, Journal & Newsletter of the JNA,
Nannoplankton Research, Journal of Nannoplankton
Research. Journal ofNannoplankton Research was overwhelmingly preferred.
We have continued issue numbering from the INA
Newsletter. This issue is 16/1 rather than 15/3 since
publication has been delayed into 1994. and so that the title
change coincides \\ith a new volume. We intend to publish
two further issues in 1994.

What to publish
The existing news, reviews. conference reports, research
project news. ODP News. bibliographies, membership lists.
etc. are valued contributions and will be retained or
expanded.
We also believe that there is real value in publishing scientific articles which deal exclusively withnannoplankton, since the journal provides a fast andeffective means of communication to the majority of theworld's nannoplankton workers, including many who
have only limited access to research libraries. Nonethelessthere are dangers to this, as has been forcefully pointed out
to us by several distinguished researchers. First the
Journal might provide a haven for sub-standard articles
which should not be published. Second the Journal might
attract too many high quality nannoplankton papers whichmight raise the profile of nannofossil research ifthey were
published elsewhere. We recognise these dangers andintend to guard against them. Ultimately, however, it is the
responsibility of individual researchers to publish theirarticles in the most appropriate journals- and of editors to
produce the best possible publication.
Mixed content: Various people have suggested that
it is inappropriate to have both relatively informal news
items, bibliographies, etc. and relatively formal scientificarticles in one journal. Obviously most scientific periodicals do not do this, however, many others do, including
very successful journals such as Nature, S'cience, The
Journal of Geological Education, Geotimes, Geology
Today, and Terra Nova. In order that the journal is a goodadvertisement for nannofossil research we do need tomaintain a high standard but we do not feel that mixed
content is a special problem.

Types of article we are interested in-Short articles; essentially those dealing with a single
topic of real interest to many nannoplankton workers
which would probably not be published otherwise.

2============================

Editor's explanation, p. 2- 3. INA News, p. 3 -5 .

-Taxon based articles; reviews of individual lineages;
interpretations of structure; discussion of ecological interpretations; good SEMs of under-illustrated species; exposition of particular taxonomic problems; limited amountsof new taxonomy including particularly new combinations. (N .B. The issue of whether we should publish new
taxa has repeatedly been discussed at INA Conferences,with the result always being in favour. The editors will not
encourage submission of articles with new taxa, and will
have any such articles refereed by appropriate specialists,
but articles with new taxa will not be rejected on principal,
unless they are unduly long).

-Biostratigraphy; reviews of zonation schemes; discussions of particular problems.

-Thematic reviews; reviews of regional work on
nannoplankton, especially in non-english language literature (e.g. "Guide and bibliography to nannofossil
research in the Carpathians").

-Methodology articles; image analysis; mounting media;
counting techniques; equipment.

Journal ofNannoplankton Research, 16, I, 1994.

Types of article we are NOT interested in-Long articles: generally articles should be l-5 printed
pages long and in any case lf'!SS than 10 pages. Numerous
other periodicals are available for longer more complex
articles, including the following international journals
which have special interest in nannoplankton: Marine

Micropaleontology, Journal of Micropalaeontology,
Micropaleontology, Newsletters in Stratigraphy.
-Multidisciplinary studies in which nannoplankton areused as a tool - especially palaeoceanographic studies.
These should be published in the appropriate thematic
periodicals - e.g. Paleoceanography, Palaeogeography

Pa/aeoclimatology Pa/aeoeco/ogy, Deep Sea Research.,
Marine Micropalaeontology.
-Applied biostratigraphy studies. These should generally
be published in national/regional geological journals- e.g.
Proceedings of the Geologists Association, Eclogae
Geologae Helvetiae . Exceptions may be made for datareports, giving nannofossil or live nannoplankton distribution charts which would not otherwise be published.

ASIAN- PACIFIC INA MEETING,KUALA LUMPUR AUGUST 1994
There is to be a major AAPG conference in Kuala Lumpur
next summer (21-24August 1994, details from AAPG, PO
Box 979, Tulsa, OK 740-0979, USA). This seems asuitable opportunity to organise another Asian - Pacific
INA meeting. It would probably not have any formal
connection with the AAPG meeting, but workers could
combine attendance of the two meetings to make a really
useful trip. I have obtained outline permission from mycompany to organise such a meeting. My preference would
be for a workshop style meeting focused on the practicalities
of Neogene nanofossil taxonomy and biostratigraphy inSouth East Asia- but of course I will be happy to take other

NANNOFOSSILS FROM THE FLYSCIISEDIMENTS- CALL FOR CO-OPERATION
I should like to invite all nanno people working withsamples from the flysch type sediments to co-operate andexchange their experience especially on taxonomy,
biostratigraphy, morphology and local zonation.
I. Why flysch sediments? Because it:

I . Contains calcareous nmmofossils,
2. Constitutes a largest part of Outer Carpathians sediments,

3. Poses certain proble1ns with fossils identification, classification etc. strictly cmmected with this type of sediment i.e.:= = =========== 3 =============

Journal ofNannoplankton Research, 16, I, 1994.

a. low species abundanceb. low species diversity
c. heavy reworking
d. lack of index taxa
e. bad preservation
The combination of factors a - e. causes more thanusually time consuming work.
11. How to solve these problems? By:
1. exchange of experience
2. close co-operation

m. Who?
All '' flysch people' ' from Carpathian, Alpine and other countries
where flysch facies occurs.
IV. Goals to achieve:
1. establishment of the age of the beginning and .. .

2.... of the end of the flysch deposition within certain
Carpathian, Alpine or other tectonic units.
3. correlation of the sediments
4. amplification (reinforcement) of the information flow
between flysch people.
5. establishment of a research project closely related tonannofossils from the flysch sediments.
Everyone interested in such co-operation arewarmly welcome. Please send your suggestions andproposals to:

XV INTERNATIONAL BOTANICAL CONGRESS- Tokyo, August 1993
This was the latest ICBN congress, and will lead to the
production of a new version of the code replacing theexisting "Berlin" Code. Details of the proposals and theresults of votes on them are documented in the journal
Taxon . The most important changes appear to be thefollowing, quoted sections arc from McNeill (1993):

1. Stability of names
There was apparently considerable debate on the issue ofconservation of Names in Current Use- with the generalobjective of increasing the stability of nomenclature. It
seems that precise new rules are still a long way from being
made but ....
In the final session on the morning of Friday, 27
August, the Section expressed its commitment tonomenclatural stability in adopting by an overwhelming
majority on a show ofhands a resolution with the following effect: ''While work continues to find further ways toreduce changes ofwe/1-established names, such names
should not be displaced for purely nomenclatural reasons, whether by change in their application, or by
resurrection of long-forgotten names. ' 'This principle is not in any sense binding yet, but
it seems sensible and and should be noted by anyone
involved in nomenclatural revision, further discussion is
given by Greuter & Nicholson (1993).

========================4

INA News, p. 3 -5.

2. The use of Latin and English
The proposal that English be accepted as an alternativeto Latin for the diagnoses of new taxa in all groups wasagain overwhelmingly rejected, but an amendment
establishing this provision for fossil plants was accepted.
This is a restrictive provision, in that from I January
1996, a new taxon offossil plants must have a Latin or
English description or diagnosis to be validly published,
whereas, prior to that date, descriptions or diagnoses inany language are acceptable.
This is obviously very important- in the rather near
future new nannofossil taxa will only be valid if theirdiagnoses are made in English or Latin.

Melinte (1992) accidentally included micrographs fromThierstein (1971) in one of the plates, instead of
micrographs of specimens from the Carpathians of
Rumania . The micrographs are Plate 3, figs 6-8 and 11.
All the other micrographs are of Rumanian specimens.

ELECTRONIC MAIL
I have had a moderate response to the item in Newsletter
15/1 about E-mail and its possible value to IN A. About 25
members have sent me their E-Mail addresses and manyothers have asked about how they can obtain E-Mail.
Nobody has yet volunteered to be ''INA E-Mail
Officer".
I have done some research on possibilities such as
Bulletin Boards and it seems to me that the most suitableoption for INA would be to set up a mailing-list system.
The basic principal of an electronic mailing-list is thatmembers of the list send messages to the host computer
which then rebroadcasts the message to all other membersof the list. Sophistications are possible such as depositionof large documents for downloading, and individuals can

INANews, p. 3 -5. J. Firth: ODP News, p. 5-6.

Ijoin or leave lists at will. Any kind of message can be sent
including simple queries, requests for advice.
announcement of meetings, etc.
Various institutions run such systems- e.g. in the
UK the Networked Information Services Project (NISP) at
Newcastle University. It should be possible for INA to set
up and use such a list without any charges. and only
minimal effort. Lists do require a moderatorto communicate
with the host organisation and perhaps handle queries,
stimulate discussion etc. This should not require much
effort, expertise, or long term commitment. I would prefer
not to run a list myself since I think it would be healthierfor INA to have sometxxly else do it. If you are onE-Mailand enjoying using it then please contemplate volunteering
your services, just send a message to anyone on the INA
Committee.

OCEAN DRILLING PROGRAM NEWSJohn Firth, Ocean Drilling Program, Texas A & A1 University
ODP Leg 150 (June 1- July 27, 1993) drilled 5 sites on the
New Jersey slope and rise, "ith excellent recovery. anddated many seismic reflectors of middle Eocene to
Quaternary age . Many of these reflectors mark Iithologic
boundaries related to glacio-eustatic sea level changes andpalaeoceanographic changes. Marie-Pierre Aubry andStefan Gartner were the nannofossil palaeontologists on
this leg.
ODP Leg 151 (August l- September 26, 1993) drilled 7
sites in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea and Arctic Ocean.
Pliocene to Quaternary sediments (including 3 sites on the
Yermak Plateau at 80 N) were well dated by nannofossils
and planktonic forams. although sediments older than thisrelied mostly on siliceous and organic walled microfossils
for age control. Miocene to Quaternary sediments wererecovered in the Iceland Plateau and Fram Strait . Eocene
and Oligocene sediments were recovered on the East
Greenland Margin and Fram Strait. High productivity
intervals with abundant siliceous microfossils occur in theupper Eocene to lower Oligocene, upper Oligocene, andmiddle/upper Miocene. Tokiyuki Sa to was the nannofossil
palaeontologist for this leg.
ODP Leg 152 (October 1- November26, 1993)drilled theEast Greenland volcanic rifted margin. and recoveredsome Eocene and Oligocene volcanoclastic sediments,
some Quaternary glacial marine sediments, and thickbasaltic/dacitic sequences that comprise the seaward
dipping reflectors. Wuchang Wei was the nannofossil
palaeontologist for this leg.
ODP Leg 153 (November 29, 1993 -January 24, 1994)
will drill the mid-Atlantic ridge crest (MARK) to recover
deep crusta! and mantle rocks in an exposed rift.
ODP Leg 154 (January 29- March 26, 1994) will drill the
Ceara Rise in the equatorial Atlantic to study Cenozoic
palaeoceanography and bottom current (North Atlantic
Deep Water and Antarctic Bottom Water) history. Jan
Backman and /sabella Rajji will be the nannofossil
palaeontologists on this leg.
ODP Leg 155 (March 31 - May 26, 1994) will drill the
Amazon Fan. Approximately 21 shallow( l 00 m) sites will
be drilled to study the facies distribution of the fan .
Sediments will be Quaternary in age. Staffing is almost
completed.
ODP Leg 156 (May 31 -July 26, 1994) will drill the north
Barbados Ridge accretionary prism, to study the relationshipof fluid flow and structural deformation in a fine-grained==========================5========================~

Journal ofNannoplank:ton Research, 16, I, 1994.

siliciclastic regime. Cenozoic sediments will be recovered.
Staffing is almost completed.

ODP Leg 157 (July 31 - September 25, 1994). The
Diamond Coring System testing is now postponed to
1995. The drilling program to replace it will not be
decided until December by the JOIDES Planning
Committee.
ODP Leg 158 (September 30- November 25, 1994) will
drill TAG, a geothermal "black smoker" site, to study thegeochemistry, mineralogy, and fluid flow regime of thedeposits. Applications are now being accepted.

ARTICLE 34
34. 1. A name is not validly published (a) when it is not
accepted by the author in the original publication; (b)when it is merely proposed in anticipation of the futureacceptance of the group concerned, or of a particular
circums,cription, position, or rank ofthe group (so-called
provisional name); (c) when it is merely cited as asynonym; (d) by the mere mention ofthe subordinate taxa
included in the taxon concerned.
34. 2. Art. 34. 1(a) does not apply to names published witha question mark or other indication oftaxonomic doubt,
yet published and accepted by the author....
The omitted part refers to fungi . Some parts ofthis
rule are not terribly clear. Any offence against (a) isdifficult to imagine, those against (c), or (d) would imply
that no diagnosis or description was given, and therefore
the names would in any case be invalid under Art. 32(previously discussed) . Only case (b) is, unfortunately,
well known.
Most of you will have come across the several
provisional generic names introduced by Kamptner. In
his 1948 paper he states that in many cases the systematic
position of new fossil forms is not clear, because not only
the morphology of the coccoliths, but also the way they are
positioned on the cell is important, particularly as
dimorphism may occur. He therefore introduces his
genera as "purely morphologically defined, provisional
collective genera, to which no prejudice to a future special
systematical assignment is inherent''. As at present it iscommonly accepted that most of our fossil genera are, infact, form-genera, this statement is sensible. However, as
Kamptner actually used the word provisional("provisorisch ")there is no doubt that the genera in thispublication are invalid. In other cases, however, it may bedifficult to determine whether or not to consider a nameprovisional.

34.3: When, on or after I Jan. 1953, two or more different
names (so-called alternative names) are proposed
simultaneously for the same taxon by the same author,
none ofthem is validly published. This rule does not apply
in those cases where the same combination is simultaneously
used at different ranks, either for infraspecific taxa withina species orfor subdivision ofa genus within a species (seeRecs. 22A.1-2, 26A.1-3).
This is another rule that is utterly unclear. Very few
authors would, in fact, propose alternative names for thesame species. However, it sometimes happens that an
author changes his mind about a name and replaces it withanother name during preparation of a manuscript. If theoriginal name is left unchanged somewhere in the
manuscript (even if only in a single place, or on a figure) ,this is generally interpreted as an alternative name. In mostcases it is quite clear that one of the names is a mistake andshould be ignored, but it would be difficult to know whereto draw the line and apply Art. 34.3. Although it is notstated in so many words, an exception should be made forspelling I typing I printing errors, as these are also excepted
elsewhere in the Code.
The meaning of the second sentence of Art.34.4·isdifficult to grasp. It apparently refers to a case where for
instance an infraspecific epithet is mentioned as a variety
on one page and as a subspecies on another page. However,
the example provided (Ex. 11) suggests that such a casewould be considered invalid. An error in the ICBN? It
would take a letter to the botanical committee to clarify thispoint. The recommendations referred to are not very
relevant here.
ARTICLE 35

This rule means that one should always add 1 nov.

debatable whether the omission of ' nov. spec. ' or a similarterm after a new species would be an offence against this==========================6==========================

rule, as the rank of the specific epithet would not be indoubt. Similarly, the termination of a suprageneric taxon
could arguably be considered an indication of rank.
However, the rule very clearly applies to infraspecificepithets, if there is no mention if such epithet is a variety,subspecies, or forma .

of the author himself in the same publication.
It ts a pity that the year does not read 1953, which
would solve most problems with Art. 35.2.
I will omit discussion of Art. 35.4, as it does notseem important to nannoplankton literature.

35. 2. A new name or combination published before 1 Jan.
1953 without a clear indication ofrank is validly publishedprovided that all other requirements for valid publication
are fulfilled; it is, however, inoperative in questions ofpriority except for homonymy (see Art. 64. 4).Jfit is a newname, it may serve as a basionym or replaced synonym for
subsequent combinations or avowed substitutes in definite
ranks.
The logic of this rule is unclear. It states that you
must considered it in cases of homonymy, but ignore it incases of priority. However, you can still use it for new
combinations. It seems to suggest you may use such aname as long as no other name has been proposed for thesame taxon.

ARTICLE 36
36. 2. In order to be validly published, a name of a new
taxon ofnon-fossilalgae published on or after 1 Jan. 1958
must be accompanied by a Latin description or diagnosis
or by reference to a previously and effectively published
Latin description or diagnosis.
This, in my view, is one of the least sensible rulesin the ICBN. After all, in these days in which English is
the universally accepted scientific language, a Latin
description is of little help, and an English description
should be made obligatory for all groups. It will, however,be very difficult to get this rule changed. The Latin
description rule also applies to all other non-fossil plantgroups, but with the earlier cut-off date of 1935 (Art.
36.1).

GLOBAL EMILIANIA MODELLING INITIATIVE ACTIVITIES, 1993
Jeremy R. Young, The Natural History A.fuseum, London SW7 5BD, UK
The Global Emiliania Modelling Initiative (GEM) is an
informal research initiative loosely co-ordinated by Peter
Westbroek, and including some formally funded programs - particular the European EHUX Programme,
funded by the EC. Its objective is to develop an holistic
understanding of the species Emiliania huxleyi as a model
for understanding the phytoplankton and their impact on
the global ecosystem. It functions as a practical means ofuniting workers from widely disparate fields. The development of this initiative has been documented in a seriesof articles in the INA Newsletter (12/3-14/3) and an
overview is given in Westbroek et al (1993).
This year saw a further multi-disciplinary study ofEmiliania huxleyi mesocosm cultures in Norway, a short
Dutch cruise in the North Sea, and another researchmeeting in Blagnac, both described below. In addition
several individual projects have been started, or invigorated, by commencement of EC funding . The ''global''scope of the project has increased with active involvementofMaurice Levasseur's Canadian team in the mesocosm
experiments and developing participation of American andJapanese groups - including Barney Batch's group (fromMiami), andMegumi Okazaki from Tokyo. Hisatake Okada
and Ric Jordan (Yamagata University) are planning future
involvement, especially in biogeographical studies.
For 1994 major mesocosm experiments are notplanned but there will be a research cruise of the Norwegian vessel Hakon Mosby. Researchers interested in contributing to the GEM initiative should contact Peter
Westbroek (Biochemistry, Leiden University, PO Box
9502, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands).
Finally, I was interested to note that the Norwegianwork on viruses in E. huxleyi populations (Bratbak et al.
1993) has been invoked by Emiliani (1993) as evidence
for a provocative theory that viral infection may be an
important agent of extinction in marine microplankton.
This is the same Cesare Emiliani that W.W. Hay named
the genus after.

THE 1993 NORWEGIAN EHUX EXPERIMENT
Berit Riddervold Heimdal, Department of Fisheries and Marine Biology, Bergen
The 1993 Norwegian EHUXExperiment was based on the
Espeland marine biology field station ofBergen UniversityandranfromMay 10-31, 1993. Mostworkwascarriedout by participants of the MAS2-CT92-0038 project of theEuropean Emiliania huxleyi (EHUX) programme. This
report has been abstracted from Harris ( 1993 - Newsletterof the MAST II EHUX 1993, 2, 1-5).
Over 30 scientists from five nations (Canada,
Great Britain, The Netherlands, Norway and Spain) participated, under the co-ordination of Jorun Egge and Berit
Heimdal. Studies covered the production, flux, and fate ofcarbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur, the effects ofzooplankton grazing and viral infestation, the controls oncell size, growth rate and coccolith morphology. The work
was concentrated on field studies using mesocosms andopen field studies as well as laboratory studies using
cultures and natural populations. The basic design of themesocosm experiment was similar to that used in 1992,
anddescnbedin Young (1992, INANe\\-Sletter 14/1, p.17-19).

The mesocosms
The phytoplankton community was dominated by diatoms
at the onset of the experiments while the concentration of
E. huxleyi was about 2 x 105 cells 1· 1. The water temperature ranged from 9 to 12 C, and the irradiance was highduring the majority of the experiment. Emiliania huxleyi
grew well during the first week On May 17 the weather
was bad, and the algal growth in the enclosures as well as
in the surrounding sea decreased. In the next days all thefertilized enclosures decreased in cell numbers. A bloomof large viruses was observed in some of the enclosures(low N:P) a few days after the Emiliania maximum. The
ratio between viral and algal abundance was similar to thatobserved previously, and it was concluded that viral
activity accounted for a significant part of the algalmortality. Towards the end of the experiment, however,Emiliania increased again in the enclosures where virus
was observed and the experiment will need to be repeatedand checked under the TEM. The control bags (nonfertilized) had a low algal activity in the first half of theexperiment, while by the end of May cell numbers of E.
huxleyi were about 10 x 106 cells 1· 1 .
Jorun Egge, Anita Jacobsen (Bergen) and David Lesley(Plymouth) co-ordinated the overall running of themesocosms and provided base-line sampling. Particulate
samples were collected by filtration for POC, PON,
particulate sulphur and calcium determinations. A complete set of Lugol and formalin samples were taken foranalysis of the phytoplankton and the microzooplankton
species composition.
David Crawford, Richard Saunders and Keith Weston(Southampton) measured dissolved C02 , 0 2 pH and alkalinity, carried out 0 2 and 14 C PI curve experiments. An
system was deployed. They also carried out a range ofother investigations, including in situ 0 2 and fluorescencelogging with the ultimate aim of describing carbon flow
through the microbial fractions of the community.
Judith van Bleijswijk and Rob Kempers (The Netherlands) used flow cytometry to measure parameters such ascell size, red fluorescence and cell-cluster development
and to investigate the relationships of these to growth
conditions and the presence of zooplankton. They also
performed die! experiments to map the cell-division cycle
and collected samples for immunological analysis ofcoccolithophore type.
John Green (Plymouth) collected samples for morphological and genetic analysis, and for comparison withmaterial from the 1992 experiment.
Svein Kristiansen. Tove Farbrot. Stine Skattebo andEystein Paasche (Oslo) conducted various experiments inorder to study the effects of N and P surplus and/or
limitation on calcification rates during Emi liania blooms,
and in culture. Additional experiments were performed onsize-fractionated nitrogen uptake, calcification and carbon fixation, ammonium regeneration, and uptake kinetics of the three different nitrogen compounds.
Frede Thingstad and Evv Slioldal (Bergen) studied thephosphorus metabolism of E. huxleyi. They measured the
distribution of phosphorus between different pools as wellas the uptake rate and kinetics in the particulate sizefractions.
Emilio Fernandez and Emilio Naranon (Oviedo) studied
photosynthetic carbon assimilation and biochemical composition of E. huxleyi blooms. The aim of their work was
to determine the rates of organic and inorganic carbon
production, the patterns of carbon incorporation into
organic pools, and the biochemical composition of thephytoplankton populations in the mesocosms.
Marianne Nielsen. Svenn Ove Linde and Roar Sandvik(Trondheim) carried out photobiological studies of E.
huxleyi in order to determine photosynthetic parameters
and ambient spectral irradiance during blooms.
Roger Harris (Plymouth) and Chus Cabal (Oviedo) estimated zooplankton abundance and population dynamics,
made quantitative measurements of copepod egg production, and measured copepod faecal pellet production rates,
chemical composition offaecal pellets and pellet size andsinking rates.
Jens Nejstgaard, UlfBamstedt and Paul Solberg (Bergen)investigated the impact of copepod grazing in high N :P
mesocosms, compared copepod and microzooplankton
grazing rates during the culmination of the E. huxleyi
bloom, and assessed the importance of the foodenvironment in the development and production of======================== 8========================

viruses in the bags, and isolations of viruses.

Sonia Michaud and Guy Cantin (Canada) carried out arange of investigations to determine the influence ofzooplankton grazing on the production of DMS. Theirwork involved measuring the change in biomass-normalised DMSP as a function of species composition, nutrient
ratio and bloom development stage.

Open field studies
During the mesocosm experiment, additional informationfrom naturally occurring Emiliania huxleyi blooms inlocal fjord environments was obtained on four cruises leadby Berit R. Heimdal. Nutrient profiles, E. huxleyi counts(live samples), and temperature, salinity and light data
were measured. In addition a range of experimental
procedures were carried out on water returned to thelaboratory.

with Willier Wilson (Warwick) carried out enumeration of

FOURTH GEM WORKSHOP- GLOBAL EMILIANIA MODELLINGINITIATIVE
Chateau de Blagnac, Cabara, France September 17-21, 1993.
Convenor: Michael Knappertsbusch. Hosts: Dorien and Jan van Hinte.
Berit Riddervold Heimda/, Department of Fisheries and Marine Biologv, Bergen
With some 46 participants, primarily from Great Britain(15), the Netherlands (13) and Norway (6), this GEM
meeting was the largest held so far, and judging by theenthusiasm expressed by the participants, it was a mostvaluable and enjoyable event. The facilities were evenbetter than before, with a larger lecture room and theprevious conference room serving as work room and forposter presentation. Only a limited number of speakers
gave oral presentations while more than 20 other participants presented their results and ideas on posters. There
was ample time for discussion both inside and outside thelecture room and .this was greatly appreciated by theaudience.
·
The European Emiliania huxleyi programme isstill in the early stages of development. Nevertheless. it isalready apparent that the transnational and interdisciplinary collaboration has given us material of great importance. and the description ofthis material and preliminary
analysis of the most important sections so far constituted
an important part of the present meeting.

The scientific program started off with an introduction by Peter Westbroek on ''GEM: goals and status",
followed by reports and discussions of the first results ofthis years joint Norwegian fjord experiment and NIOZ
North Sea Cruise, the further results of the 1992 fjord
cruise and experiments and earlier NE Atlantic cruises,
the latest laboratory testresults, and the status of systemmodel development. The morning of the second day was
reserved for talks on GEM and the food chain (L.
Dijkhuizen) and discussions of coecolith sedimentationand dissolution (M. Knappertsbusch and S. van Kreveld).
On the last day the main part was dedicated to talks anddiscussions on models and integration of modelling andexperimental work.
In this place I would like to thank our hosts once
again for the excellent organisation of the meeting. It wasgood to meet so many old GEM friends again and encouraging to see so many new faces.

5TH INA CONFERENCE, SALAMANCA 1993
OVERVIEW
The 5th official INA Coryference was held in the beautiful
city of Salamanca, Spain, from August 30th to September
2nd.
Before that, a pre-conference excursion was organised from August 26th to 29th. This excursion under theable leadership of Francisco Javier Sierro and Jose Abel
Flores, was attended by only 12 participants which madeit possible for everybody to get to know each other. We
were shown the progression of the Neogene infill of the
Guadalquivir Basin, which forms the Betic foredeep. Our
trip led us to such beautiful places as Cordoba and Sevilla,
where sufficient time was reserved to admire the magnificent local architecture. Some hardy souls even visited the
EXPO Site in Sevilla after dinner, where they danced into
the small hours, in spite of a particularly long and hot

walk earlier that day.
The conference itself was held in the ancient mainbuilding of the University of Salamanca, which is one ofthe oldest universities in Europe. The building is reservedfor official functions these days, and is otherwise only
open for admiring tourists. The conference was attended
by 98 participants from 25 countries, with the Italians
forming the largest group.
The first day was devoted to the Cenozoic. We
began with the opening session and a lecture by ourdeparting President Katharina von Salis titled: What's
INA name? reveiwing her feelings on the development andhistory of our association. The rest of the morning wasdevoted to Quaternary and Living nannofossils, while in
the afternoon we descended the timescale into the Tertiary. After the lectures a conference party and poster==========================9==========================

session had been organised in the corridors upstairs, andthen most of us retreated to the Plaza Major to enjoy the
local drinks, music, and fine scenery under a full moon.
The second day opened with a session on
Nannofossi/sand Paleoceanography, including a keynote
lecture by Jan Backman, followed by a session on the
Kff boundary. After lunch we continued with Cretaceous
Nannofossils and the database workshop.
Wednesday morning was devoted to Jurassic
nannofossils and a session on general topics, followed byworkshops on living and Quaternary coccoliths and on
Jurassic nannofossils. After lunch the Tertiary workshop
and Cretaceous nannofossils workshop ended the scientific part of this day. After a short break we continued withthe business meeting of the conference (see below).
After this the meeting was adjourned, and we .
retreated to the Patio de Escuelas Monores, a beautiful
setting for the farewell party.·
Many left after this, but for the rest of us there wasstill, on Thursday morning, the Kff boundary workshop
and an ad hoc workshop on preparation and analysis
methods after which we departed for the post-conference
fieldtrip to northern Spain.
This fieldtrip was attended by 37 participants from19 countries, and led by Marco Lamolda and Amalia
Gorostidi. We spent the first day travelling to Bilbao,
where we spent the night, and the next day we visited thefamous Zumaya section, in beautiful sunlight. The morning was devoted to the Upper Cretaceous and Kff
Boundary, and after lunch there was an opportunity tosample some more of the Palaeogene. The next day wespent the morning on a err boundary section south of
Bilbao, after which we drove to Madrid. Most of us left thebus there, catching the plane the next day, although sometravelled back to Salamanca.
On behalf of INA I would like to thank all theorganisers - Jose-Abel Flores, Francisco-Javier Sierro,
Guillermo Frances, M. Angeles Barcena, Jose-Angel
Gonzalez-Delgado and Andrea Concheyro for their workin organising another very successful conference.

INA BUSINESS MEETING
Reports of the Secretary and Treasurer
As all relevant announcements and overviews had alreadybeen reported in the Newsletter, this was restricted to theindication of a typing error in the accounts (IN A Newsletter 1511, p. 38), where the sales ofback issues should be£324 .15, rather than £3224.15.
Report of the editor
Once again the form and function of the INA Newsletter
were discussed, and it was decided to change both, as wellas its name. A full report is published elsewhere in thisjournal.
Incoming mail
Although it is not usual to discuss incoming mail at an INA
meeting, an exception was made for a letter from Dr Eteri

Kilasonia from Georgia. At the Prague Conference theGeorgianshad offered to organise the 6th IN A Conferencein Thilisi, but the war that rages in Georgia (as in several
other parts of Eastern Europe) of course makes that quite
impossible. After explaining the current situation, Eteri
continues to tell that the INA Newsletter is the only linkwith the outside world, as the libraries no longer receive
new publications. and ''please ask our colleagues to send
new publications as far as possible''. I would like to extend
that plea to you all, not only for our colleagues in Georgia,
but for all of those who are currently living under suchdreadful circumstances. Keep in touch with them, andsend them your reprints.

Next conference
Several invitations had been extended for the next IN J
Conference, some in writing, some orally at the meeting:David Jutson (Copenhagen, Denmark), Syed Jafar(Lucknow, India), Wuchang Wei (San Diego, U.S.A.)
Marie-Christine Janin (Paris, France), Amos Winter(Puerto Rico, U.S.A). It was decided that a Conference
should be held where the largest group of members could
attend, which means either in Europe or America. Aftereach of the candidates present (all, except Jafar) had helda short presentation to highlight the merits for eachlocation, a vote was taken. The vote showed a marginal
preference for Copenhagen, with Puerto Rico as a close
second with only a few votes difference. As Europeans
clearly dominated the meeting, it was felt that this gavethem an unfair advantage, and it was decided to put thevote to the general membership to decide if it was time toshift overseas. Subsequently (in November) all members
have been sent voting slips. The outcome of this vote will
be reported in due course.
Database committee
The preliminary results are reported elsewhere in thisjournal.
Other business - change of President
After a run of I 6 years as our first President, Katharina had
decided it was time to hand over the gavel to someone else.
After the elections we held last year, that someone elseturned out to be me. However, as INA does not have agavel, and as I never learned to produce a piercing whistle
on my fingers (as Katharina did to draw the crowd 's
attention), I was handed a very effective sports whistle as
my badge of honour. I have put it to good use during theremainder of the conference, much to the displeasure ofsome that somehow always happened to stand nearby.

REVIEW OF CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS(By Jeremy R. Young, except where noted)

Oral presentations
The oral presentations were very varied in both subject
matter and speaker. The notes below outline some of thethemes that seemed to me to come from the meeting. They
are, of course, subjective and inequitable, reflecting both
my own biases and the random variation in my mental
alertness.
Ecology and palaeoceanography
Jan Backman in a special keynote lecture gave an analysis
ofthe impact ofnannofossil studies on palaeoceanography
research, questioning why it was not greater, and exhorting us to make better use of the opportunities available.
Reflecting his concern there were rather few talks which
actually used nannofossils to investigate
palaeoceanographical problems, exceptions included talks
given by Alessandra Negri on the notorious Mediterranean Quaternary anoxic laminites, by Guillermo Franceson the Atlantic Pliocene and by Wuchang Wei on theoceanographic events near the Palaeocene-Eocene boundary.
There were rather more talks developing our understanding ofnannoplankton ecology and their relationship to oceanography- this must be the essential basis for ·palaeoceanography and seems a particularly appropriate
topic for INA Conferences. These includea a number ofstudies demonstrating the importance of fertility ingeneral, and upwelling in particular, on the compositionof modem nannofloras - Lluisa Cros (NW Mediterranean), Jacgues Giraudeau (Benguela system), Annelies
Kleijne (Indian Ocean), and Patrizia Zivieri (California
Bight). In the fossil record Jan KrhovskY gave further
details ofOligocene laminated sediments with beautifully
preserved nannofossils and of the insights they can give tonannofossil ecology. Elisabetta Erba applied concepts
from the recent to the nannoconid problem making a· strong argument that they could be analogs ofFlorisphaera
profunda - i.e. deep dwelling nannoplankton occurring
below surface oligotrophic waters.
Milankovitch cyclicity
Predictably milankovitch cyclicity was mentioned in manytalks, in addition Dawn Windley outlined a detailed study
on Cenomanian sequences, investigating the relationshipbetween nannofossil and litho logical indicators ofcyclicity.
Mario Cachao gave a controversial, but thought-provoking, talk on the possibility that some apparent cyclicity
might equally validly be interpreted as a fractal signal
produced by ecological processes without external forcing.
Neogene and Quaternary Stratigraphy
There appears to be a resurgence of interest in the Neogene
and a succession of talks were given probing and developing the' 'standard'' zonations, including Ric Jordan (Lat-=========================!!=========================

est Quaternary), Wuchang Wei (using isotope stages totest diachrony), Isabella Raffi (reviewing Late Miocene
nannofossil datums in the light of recent ODP work),
Agata di Stefano (reviewing Middle Miocene datums in
the Mediterranean).

Cretaceous/Tertiary Boundary
Despite all the previous work several talks were given

providing useful advances in our knowledge of this event.
Thomas Ehrendorfer demonstrated that Maaastrichtiannannofossils show no sign of declining before the boundary.
JimPospichal presented data tending to refute the hypothesisthat some of the "Cretaceous" nannofossils above theboundary are in situ survivors rather than reworked. Kristalina
Stoykova described an important new section from Bulgaria,
and Stanislav Shumenko a Ukrainian section.

Are the Cretaceous nannofossils in Danian sediments "dead bodies"?

Cretaceous Boreal-Tethyan contrasts
A series of speakers (Elisabetta Erba & JorgMutterlose,
Dave Rutledge, Jackie Burnett) documented the contrasts
between these realms at different stages of the Cretaceous.
Hopefully these results will contribute to a new understanding of Cretaceous biogeography.

possibilities in this field were discussed by Marie-Christine
Janin and Jeremy Young, with the general conclusion thatsynthesis of data from living haptophytes and from thenannofossil record should open great possibilities forevolutionary studies.

Jurassic nannofossils
There were fewer presentations on the Jurassic at thismeeting, but these appeared to herald major revisions totaxonomy. Jim Bergen outlined his major study of Portuguese sections. Paul Bown described stunning Toarcian
laminated deposits, he suggested that such deposits canlegitimately be regarded as nannofossil lagerstatten andillustrated beautiful examples of coccolith preservation
including holococcoliths that looked as if they had justfallen onto a filter in the Atlantic. Francesca Lozar
discussed Tethyan Liassic material and showed how evenwith poor preservation nannofossils can provide usefuldata.

Poster sessions seem to have improved at each successive
INA Conference, and they were very successful at thismeeting. The arrangement was simple but highly effective; posters were displayed along an upstairs cloister
corridor, with the tea and coffee at the far end. So, every
coffee break we all inevitably ended up among the posters.
and there were several dedicated poster sessions. The
organisation was matched by the posters which werenumerous and of very high standard. There were in fact
more posters (about 45) than oral presentations. They
covered a wide range of topics including particularly
applied biostratigraphic studies, studies of extant
nannoplankton communities, and special studies of individual taxa.

Posters

Phylogeny, taxonomy and evolution
Among the talks Brigitta van Niel reviewed species level
Nannoconus taxonomy, and Eric de Kaenel discussed
Calcidiscus evolution. Several posters also concerned
themes of this type, including notably an SEM study byJean Self-Trail and Laurel Bybell of gradualistic evolution
in Palaeogene coccolith lineages. Broad concepts andWorkshop reports
A special feature of the organisation of this conference wasthat a number of workshops were scheduled with adequate
available time and with nominated convenors. The convenors were selected undemocratically by the organisingcommittee (primarily Jose-Abel Flores and myself). They===========================12==========================

Heavy discussion in the poster room

were given several weeks notice but no specificrecomendations as to how to organise the workshops, andso between them the various convenors experimented withmost possibilities. Discussion afterwards suggested thatthe extra organisation was well worthwhile and that thediversity of approaches was a healthy reflection of thedifferent needs of the groups. Possible pointers for future
workshops might be; (I) Quick introductory sessions(names, research topics) would be useful and interesting,especially since a number of new attendees/members areinevitably present. (2) Perhaps, for the next INA Conference, the convenors could be given details of who has
expressed an interest in attending the particular workshop
and special requests for discussion topics. Ideally they
could then give the participants advance warning of likely
topics for discussion so that they could bring relevent data,
microscope slides, etc. with them.

Jurassic workshop - convenor Paul R. Bown
This workshop was attended by 14 people and included
discussion of present and future research. One major pointof discussion was the potential for increasing the profile ofnannofossil work in the Jurassic, particularly to nonmicrofossil workers and especially to ammonite workers
who so dominate Jurassic stratigraphy. The group felt thata review paper presenting "state of the art" Jurassic
nannofossil biostratigraphy should be compiled and if
possible presented at the International Symposium on
Jurassic Stratigraphy to be held in Buenos Aires next year.
PRB will be soliciting contributions in the near future andany suggestions or contributions will be gratefully received.
Paul R. Bown, University College London
Cretaceous workshop - convenor Elisabetta Erba
The Cretaceous working world is currently focussing its
attention on two major international projects: theSubcommission on Cretaceous Stage Boundaries is at-

tempting to designate stage boundary stratotype sections
using a number of fossil groups, among which nannofossils
feature as one of the more useful groups; and an IGCP
project has just been set in motion to address the problem
of Borealffethyan correlations . Both topics wereaddressed at the Workshop.
One additional point, Brigitta van Niel announced
at the meeting that she is attempting to synthesise information on nannoconid distribution and would be very
grateful for any data on this subject- any unpublished data
will only be used with full acknowledgement.
Jackie A. Burnett, University College London

KIT boundary workshop -convenor Andrea FiorentinoThis workshop was divided into two parts: First a microscope session, during which photographs were comparedand slides were observed of some problematic or doubtfully identified forms; then an open discussion, which,moving from the general aspects connected to the Kff
boundary, became very fragmented as everyone started totell his specific problems and experience.
Two major arguments were pointed out: Katharina
von Sal is argued that we no longer gain additional useful
information from ever more detailed stratigraphy and that
we need a different approach. A biogeographic approach
was then proposed in order to try to understand which werethe causes of the nannofossil assemblage change dynamics and how they acted. A diagram of the presence/absence
patterns of the most significant forms was distributed by

Tertiary workshop- convenors Jose-Abel Flores andJeremy R. Young
This was virtually the first INA workshop that has been
held on general Tertiary topics. Nonetheless, there was astrong feeling that it should be a useful exercise since thetaxonomy and the zonations that we use have evolved onan ad hoc basis. We felt that there was real scope forrationalisation, to help us work efficiently and communicate effectively. During the workshop we concentrated on
the area where the convenors had done some preparation
work - a synthesis of Tertiary Zonation schemes. We
worked systematically through this synthesis contributing
information from our personal experiences as to thedependability of the datums and of the taxonomic concepts. The Neogene results of this work are given as aseparate paper.
In addition we discussed possibilities for introducing a bit more standardisation to our nomenclatural
taxonomy, including the idea of producing an Annotated
Checklist of Tertiary Nannofossils, - i.e. a listing of all thecommonly found nannofossil species together with a set ofnotes. Perhaps unfortunately, the only volunteer to coordinate such a project was myself, for the Neogene. I hopeto start working on this in the New Year, circulating a
prototype checklist of Neogene species combinations tointerested parties from the workshop, other well-known
Neogene experts- and anyone else who wishes be involved(just write to me).

Living nannoplankton workshop - convenors Ric
Jordan and Mario Cachao
Jordan reviewed the current knowledge of coccolithophoridcommunities, methodology, and the indicator species
used in reconstructing palaeoceanography. Cachao thengave us his thoughts on Coccolithus pe/agicus abundances from the Iberian coast. This concluded the contributions of the chairmen. At this stage most of those who
had not already left and were not asleep, gave a sigh ofrelief and bolted for the door. Those unfortunate enoughto be left behind were enticed to present their data (e.g.
Giraudeau on the Benguelas) or enter the discussion. Asa chairman I hope most of the attendees benefitted fromsome of the things said in the workshop, even if it was the
final words "OK I think that's it"Ric Jordan, Yamagata University, Japan.

During the oral sessions Martin Jakubowski gave a talkreviewing the main techniques for preparation of
nannofossil slides suiable for quantitative analysis. This
talk prompted extended and animated debate so a workshop was swiftly organised to continue this debate.
Databases workshop - an international calcareous
nannoplankton database convenor Monique Bonnemaison.
Report by Shir/ey E. van Heck and Laurel Bybe/1
As many ofyou know from this Newsletter, John Steinmetz
and Shirley van Heck have been working on a database for

5TII INA Conference, p. 9-15.

several years now, aiming to include all the taxa andreferences that have been listed in the various issues of the''Index'' by Loeblich and Tappan (1966-1972) and all theissues of the INA Newsletter. Unfortunately, this project
was slowed down again and again as a result of Shirley's
multiple transfers. In the meantime, several othernannoplankton databases have been developed to various
states of completion, and with different set-ups. To avoid
duplication of work and waste of time and energy, it was
decided to hold a database workshop at the 1993 INA
Conference in Salamanca (Spain), with the following
aims:-To get an overview of the different databases
available and the status of them.
-To see if efforts could be combined to produce anoperational database that might be made available in theusefully near future.
At the workshop, the following databases werediscussed:
1. Steinmetz and van Heck: database consisting of thetaxonomic and bibliographic information as listed in
Loeblich and Tappan and the INA Newsletter. Status:
most of the Loeblich and Tappan taxonomic entries areentered into a relational database using the program"IDEALIST" (IBM, possibly Macintosh).
2, Laurel Bybe/1: same data as above, using dBase Ill Plus

(IBM), including ability to search on geographic location,
geologic age, and article topics. In addition, there isinformation for Cenozoic species that describes where
they have been illustrated, what type of illustration, andwhat age . Names and addresses of calca r eous
nannoplankton workers are also included. Status: nearlycomplete (see below).
3. Monique Bonnemaison: expert system with descriptions, photographs, stratigraphic ranges and determination keys. Status: complete for the Mesozoic, in French, ina custom-made database developed using 4th Dimension(Macintosh).
4. Woody Wise: training system with descriptions, photographs, and strati graphic ranges, designed for ODP work.
Status: fairly well along for the Cenozoic, in a custommade database (IBM).

5. Ton Romein: expert system with descriptions, photographs, and stratigraphic ranges. Status: custom-madedatabase available (DINOSYS) but still to be filled withnannoplankton data.
6. Extant nannoplankton databases: These would containrather different data and were not discussed in detail.
Work is already in progress in this area as part of larger
phytoplankton databases, e.g. Estep et al ( 1992).
As it was obvious that there already was a lot of
duplication of effort, a Database Committee was formed
with Laurel Bybell as the Chairman to develop a strategy
to co-ordinate and combine these efforts for the benefit of
the entire IN A community. The committee met the follow-===========================14==========================

5TH INA Confecenoe, p. 9- 15. Late abu1lcts, p. 15-18.

ing day, and it was agreed that the databases mentioned
above could be divided into two groups with corresponding sub-committees:
1. Bibliographic/taxonomic subcommittee. Purpose: todevelop the requirements, structure, distribution method,etc. for a database containing this basic data. Composition: Laurel Bybell (USA) - Chairman, Shirley van Heck
(Malaysia), John Steinmetz (USA)?, Mitch Covington(USA)? As an initial product, Laurel Bybell will be issuing
her entire database as a U.S. Geological Survey Digital
Data Series publication on CD-ROM. This is IBM compatible, but she will be checking to see if it can also be madeavailable for the Macintosh. The CD-ROM contains its
own dBase compatible database program that can be run
on any IBM-compatible machine. The database occupies
about 12Mb. There also is a more user-friendly program
for those who have dBase software. Hopefully, this will beavailable by next Spring at a cost of approximately $34.
2. Expert system subcommittee. Purpose: to develop requirements, etc. for a relational database containing im-

ages, descriptions, stratigraphic information. Composition: Jorg Bollemann (Switzerland)- Chairman, Monique
Bonnemaison (France), Woody Wise (USA), Jeremy Young(UK), Dave Govoni (USA)- Laurel Bybell 's husband andinformartion systems expert, Ton Romein (Netherlands)?
The ultimate goal will be to have a centrally locatedrelational database that combines all these data and will beavailable with periodic updates via Internet. In the Newsletter following this one, we hope to include a questionnaire about computer compatibility, access to Internet,
etc., which will help in designing the relational database.

5TH INA CONFERENCE, SALAMANCA 1993 - LATE ABSTRACTSFRACTAL CONCEPT AND METHODOLOGY IN TIME SERIES INTERPRETATIONSMario Cachao (Geological Department of the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon Portugal)

Complex behaviour models driven from climatic and/or
oceanographic and population non-linear dynamics may
be used to interpret time series proxy data with an apparently random structure. In particular, time series withchaotic behaviour may exhibit fractal geometricproperties, especially in what concerns self-affinity intime.
This self-affinity seems to be a property of theecological succession phenomena. According to someauthors monthly phytoplankton succession has the sameproeries as secular succession of plant-communities in aforest. Calcareous nannofossil data from the Pliocene
section of ODP Site 653 (Tyrrhenian Sea, western
Mediterranean) also shows what can be interpreted as along term (several thousand years) succession structure(Cachao 1992).
Time series self-affinity (fractal)properties may berevealed by using the Richardson plot method. By
comparing differentRichardson plots of several calcareous
nannofossils and isotopic proxy data, distinct time
behaviours were detected which in some cases may berelated with changes (increase/decrease of the Fractal
dimension) in complexity of the proxy records by orbital
forcing cyclically.
Time series fractal structure may be related to thehierarchical ecosystem organisation (essential condition
for its stability) (Margalef in Frontier 1987) in whichlarger systems, with low frequency dynamics, are built upof smaller and smaller sub-systems, with higher frequency
dynamics (Tappan 1971).
Fractal theory applied to palaeoecology may provein the future to be quite useful in space-temporal modellingof marine (palaeo-)ecosystems particularly in respect ofsampling strategy and data numerical treatment.

CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSIL BlOSTRA TIGRAPHY OF THE LOWER LIAS
IN TETHY AN AREAS
Francesca Lozar, Universita' deg/i Studi, Milano, Italy

A good biozonation based on calcareous nannofossils
exists for the Lower Jurassic of North-Western Europe,
where data of first appearance of calcareous nannofossi1s
are calibrated to ammonite biozonation (Bown 1987). No
data from Lower Lias Tethyan sections were calibrated toAmmonite biozonation, especially of Hettangian Sinemurian age. The study of several sections located on
the former Northern and Southern margin of Tethys
Ocean, the Lombardy Basin (LB) and the De1phinois
Basin (DB), allowed the definition of first appearance of
calcareous nannofossils in Western Tethys, where theoldest datum was so far limited to the Upper Sinemurian(Brenha Road section, Hamilton, 1977).
Detailed biostratigraphic analysis has been
performed on samples from the following sections:Lombardy Basin; Colle di Sogno, Colle Pedrino,

Pradalunga, Valle Adrara. Delphinois Basin; Gammal,
La Rosiere, Le Tardieux, Le Bosc, Serre des Champs,
Ravin de Chou; Lyonnais: La Barroliere.
Study of300 fields of view per sample allowed thedefinition of5 biostratigraphic events, despite the rarity ofthe specimens and their bad preservation- related to modeof sediment deposition (gravity flows) and diagenetic
overprint. These 5 bioevents provide a stratigraphic
framework for Hettangian - Lower Sinemurian age. They
are calibrated to the ammonite biozonation in the Delphinois
sections and to brachiopod and ammonite biozonations in
the Lombardian sections. The first appearances. of
Crepidolithus crassus, Tubirhabdus patulus, and "small"Crepidoli thus were found to be Hettangian in age, whereas

THE CALCAREOUS NANNOPLANKTON AND PLANKTIC FORAMINIFERA OF THE
PALEOCENE-EOCENE BOUNDARY IN THE SOUTH OF SPAIN (BETIC CHAIN)
Bouchra El Afamoune, Jorge Martinez Gal/ego
In the South of Spain there are widespread Paleogene
marls and limestones with abundant calcareous nannofossil
floras and planktic foraminifera. Three sections havebeen studied in the present study : The Barranco
Balenciano, Barranco de Alamicos and Cortijo de San
Antonio, which are located at the northeastern part ofGranada (Spain).
This paper deals with the determination of the
Paleocene/Eocene boundary by means of calcareous
nannoplankton and planktonic foraminifera.

The Paleocene/Eocene boundary can be placed
between the Discoater multiradiatus zone (NP9) and theTribrachiatus contortus zone (NPlO), or between the
Globorotalia velascoensis and Globorotalia subbotinae
zones. The transition between these zones occurs without
lithologic changes within the "Capas rojas" facies.
The calcareous nannoplankton and planktonic
foraminifera associations which characterize anddistinguish the late Palaeocene and Early Eocene are
discussed in detail.

LATE PALEOGENE ANOXIC EVENTS- EVIDENCE FROM NANNOFOSSILS STUDIES
Nikita Muzylov, Geological Institute of the Russia Academy of Sciences. Pyzhevskii pr. 7, Moscow 109017, Russia
Sediments enriched in organic matter (bed thicknesses
20cm to lm) have been studied in many Late Palaeocene
localities of the south of the former USSR The sediments
are synchronous with a short duration but very intensive
transgression. Analogous anoxic sediments are known inmany othe~ regions of the World. It seems that it is theconservation of enormous masses of carbon in thosesediments which caused the well-known Late Palaeocene
carbon isotope anomaly. The stratigraphic position ofanoxic sediments in the Palaeocene sequences of thesouth of the former USSR is determined with highest
accuracy. Earlier I supposed (Muzylov, 1989), that the
top of the anoxic sediments was found slightly below theboundary between nannofossil Subzones CP8a and CP8b.
However, more detailed studies of nannofossils haveshown the position of this boundary to be within theanoxic sedirnents. This was demonstrated at many

localities in North Caucasus, Georgia, Ustyurt Plateau andthe Middle Asia. The synchronism of anoxic layers ofdifferent areas is wonderful.
It is shown, that the appearance of the first typical
Palaeogene shallow water nannofossil species (the genera
Romboaster, Pontosphaera, Transversopontis) in thesections of the South of the former USSR is certainly
related to anoxic sediments. The first appearance ofshallow
water species at the time of intensive transgression seems
paradoxical. We can only suppose that the transgression
took place in conditions ofpeneplanation and this fact led
to sharp expansion of the shallow water shelf rather than
to a depth increase.

LOWER CRETACEOUS CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSIL BIOSTRA TIGRAPHY OF SOME
ALLOCTHONOUS LIGURIAN FORMATIONS IN SOUTHERN TUSCANY (ITALY)
Nico/a Perilli, Dipartimento di Scienze del/a Terra - Pisa.

Aims
This work is focused on the lower Cretaceous calcareous
nannofossil biostratigraphy of the Calpionel/a Limestone
and the Palombini Shale Formations which belong to theallocthonous, internal, Ligurian Units in Southern
Tuscany. Both formations are widely spread in the
Northern Apennines; they represent the lower Cretaceous

calcareous pelagic sedimentation of the Tethyan realm.
They are related to the Maiolica in the Southern Alps
(north Italy) and in the Tuscan-Umbrian-Marchean Basin(central Italy). The data from the studied sections are very
interesting because the samples have a rich fossil content.
On the contrary, a great number of samples from the
Calpionella Limestone and the Palombini Shale of the======================== !? ========================~

Journal ofNannoplankton Research, 16, I, 1994.

Ligurian Apennines, often quoted in the literature asclassic localities of the ophiolite sedimentary cover, arebarren or show rare and poorly preserved calcareous
nannofossil assemblages.
Study area
The study area is located to the south-east ofLivomo. The
Calpionel/a Limestone and the Palombini Shale havebeen sampled at four sites: Mt. Vitalba, Poggio Vitalba,
Romito and Chioma sections. The stratigraphic contact
between the Diaspri formation and the Calpionel/a
Limestone is well exposed in the Mt. Vitalba section,
while in the Poggio Vitalba section the stratigraphic
contact between the Calpionella Limestone and thePalombini Shale crops out. In the Romito section the
Palombini Shale, which overlies the Diaspri, records thelatest coarse clastic deposition of the ophiolite-bearing
breccia. In the Chioma section the Palombini Shale issuperbly exposed for more than 100 metres, although the
top of the formation is missing.
Lithostratigraphy
The Diaspri formation, which overlies the ophiolite
sequences, is characterized by red and thin stratified
radiolarites. The Diaspri grades upwards to the Calpionel/a
Limestone through a shaly marlstone level withintercalations of red siliceous shales, micritic limestones
and very thin beds of radiolarites. The Calpionella
Limestone consists of medium to thick strata of whitesiliceous limestones characterized by intercalations ofmarls, which become progressively more shaly upwards
toward the Palombini Shale contact. The Palombini shale
is mainly composed of shales and marly shales withintercalations of micritic limestones; the beds are thickand sometimes disrupted.
Samples, abundance, preservation and biostratigraphy
184 samples have been collected. Among them 4 7, mainly

derived from the Palombini Shale, are barren. Semiquantitative analyses of the calcareous nannofossils weremainly performed by light microscopy. The calcareous
nannofossils and nannoconids are the most important
constituents ofthe sampled shaly marlstones and limestones
and provide a good biostratigraphic resolution. The
assemblages are rich, diverse, and well preserved. Morethan 50 species have been recognized and in more than
50% of the samples the number of species ranges between
15 and 25. The following nannofossil events have been
identified: FOofRucinolithuswisei, FOofCalcicalathina
oblongata, LO of Rucino/ithus wisei, FO of Nannoconus
bucheri and Nannoconus wassallii, FO of Lithraphidites
bollii and LO of Cruciellipsis cuvil/ieri. In the Poggio
Vitalba section, in addition to the calcareous nannofossils,
the dinoflagellate cyst assemblages have been studied: theFO Druggidium apicopaucicum is just before the FO of
Calcicalathina oblongata, while the FO of Druggidium
dejlandrei is after the FO of Calcicalathina oblongata(Marroni, Perilli & Trevisan, work in progress). The
increasing diversity of nannoconids from late Berriasianto early Hauterivian, the FO of Rucinolithus
terebrodentarius and the FO of Lithraphidites bol/ii arebriefly discussed.
Conclusions
Preliminary results show that the Diaspri grades upwards
to the Calpionel/a Limestone through a shaly marlstonelevel referred to late Berriasian age (Cretarhabdus
angustiforatus biozone). The age of the Calpionel/a
Limestone ranges from the late Berriasian (Cretarhabdus
angustiforatus biozone) to the early Valanginian(Ca/cicalathina oblongatabiozone). ThePalombini Shale
outcropping in the sampled sections, is referable to an age
rangingfromearlyValanginian(Calcica/athinaoblongata
biozone) to late Hauterivian/very early Barremian(Lithraphidites bollii biozone).

POLYMER MUD: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTION
Michael J Styzen, Shell O.ffshore Inc. P.O.Box 61933 New Orleans, LA 70161, USA
Laura/ee R. Reugger, Consultant, 102 Big Pine Dr. Covington, LA 70433 USA

During 1986 and early 1987, we noticed a marked reduction in the abundance of nannofossils present in samples
from offshore Gulf of Mexico exploratory wells. This
problem was of great concern to us and, for a time, brought
into question whether nannofossil biostratigraphy would
be as useful in deep water settings as we had earlier hoped.
Strata deposited at low depositional rates in a bathyalenvironment, above CCD, should contain abundantnannofossil floras. Their near absence in samples fromwells drilled into such sediments was a mystery.
In the summer of 1987, during the drilling of thefirst wells at Prospect Auger (Garden Banks block 470 and471}, the technician who prepared our slides reported
increasing problems with sample processing. The standard procedure at that time was: A small cut (approximately
2 cc) of unwashed cuttings was placed in a vial, water
added and mixed using a vortex mixer. A drop of theresulting suspension was placed on a microscope slideusing a capillary tube. Finally the slide was dried on a hot
plate and a cover glass was affixed.
Samples from the wells in question would bead up
on the slide and not spread evenly. The technician sent us
a representative batch of the problem samples. They
exhibited some very unusual properties. When the samples were mixed with water in the vial, the resulting
suspension had a thick plastic-like consistency viscousenough to stand up a capillary tube. If the samples weremixed with more water in a larger container, a similar
consistency resulted without apparent loss of viscosity.
Once water was added, any attempt to remove it byphysical means was unsuccessful. Several samples were
centrifuged for ten minutes at 3500 r.p.m. without any
material coming out of suspension. When the samples inthe vials were oven-dried the sediment retained very muchthe same volume as when wet, and was overgrown by anarray of fibrous crystals.
The unusual characteristics of the samples were
intriguing and suggested a cause for the paucity of ourobserved floras. The ability of the samples to occupy any
reasonable volume showed us that our specimens weremore widely distributed in a larger volume of mud thanpreviously. The assemblages were being diluted. We
concluded that the unusual properties observed were nota natural phenomenon and some sort of polymer drilling
mud was responsible. The problems proved to be due tosalt polymer mud, which was first used successfully by
Shell Offshore Inc. in June 1986 (Cheatham et al., 1987).
This type of polymer solved a plethora ofdrilling problems
but wreaked havoc on attempts at nannofossil
biostratigraphy.
We initially tried rinsing the drilling mud off the
cuttings. This proved unsuccessful as the polymer was
tenacious and even a small amount produced the problems
described above. The vigourous washing necessary to
remove all the drilling fluids from the ·samples also
removed most of the nannofossil bearing shale. Later

experimentation also showed that the polymer reactedwith any expandable formation clays along with thedrilling mud. It was clear that the polymer had to be
removed or neutralized, without removing the clay fraction. We consulted our drilling department and several
drilling mud companies and received numerous suggestions; none worked. Research efforts in those circles
generally are aimed at increasing and preserving the very
properties we found undesirable. In late 1987, one mudcompany kindly provided us with samples of all theirpolymer products. Over a period of three months weexperimented with the polymer samples and samples fromthe affected wells. Two chemicals proved to be effective indisassociating the polymer from the clay particles: sodium
hypochlorite (chlorine bleach) and methanol. Both areequally effective, but methanol is flammable and more
toxic so we elected to employ bleach. The entire proceduremust be followed for successful results. Simply adding a
few drops of bleach to your nannofossil preparation likely
does more harm that good (see note in step 2 below).

Procedure
1. Place approximately 1 ml unwashed cuttings in a 15 m1
centrifuge vial.

2. Add full strength bleach (or methanol) to the 12 mlmark.
Note:Do not add water! Do not use dilute bleach!
Gaffey and Bronnimann ( 1993) report that dilute bleachetches carbonates while full strength it has no effect.
3. Spin stir on a vortex mixer to thoroughly mix sample.
4. Place in a centrifuge and run at high speed (3500 rpm}
for 30 seconds.
5. Decant liquid and retain residue in the centrifuge tube.
Note:Steps 1-5 serve to break the bonds of thepolymer to the mud. The polymer is still present. Ifthesamples were used at this point the polymer-related
problems would still occur.
6. Add water to the 12 ml mark; stir on a vortex mixer.
7. Centrifuge on high speed for 30 seconds.
8. Decant liquid; retain residue in the centrifuge tube.
Note:The decanted liquid at this point is a gel-like
substance that is either translucent or dark brown
depending on whether lignosulfate is present in the
mud system.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 until decantant is all water or desired
viscosity is reached (usually two or three rinses).
Note: We have found that a very small amount ofpolymer left in the sample enhances spreadability
without significantly diluting the flora.
lO.Make nannofossil slides in the normal way, from theresidue.

Remarks
The use of various polymers in drilling fluids has becomecommon place in oil and gas drilling operations since themid eighties. Since that time, treating nannofossil samples for polymers has become part of our standard procedure. The effects of this procedure on our sample quality========================== 19 ==========================

JoumalofNannoplanktonResearch, 16, I, 1994.

is phenomenal. The number of fossils observed on a slide
after the polymer has been removed has been found to beup to eight time greater than in the same sample before
treatment. This procedure has had a profound effect on thequality of our interpretations. It is presented here in thehope that the technique will improve results of all workers
who work with ditch cuttings from polymer mud systems.

Introduction
This chart has been produced following discussion of
Tertiary nannofossil zonations at the workshop on Tertiary Nannofossils during the Vlth INA Conference, Salamanca 1993. Wei & Peleo-Alampay (1993) produced atable correlating the standard zonations of Martini ( 1971)
and Okada & Bukry ( 1980) with the geomagnetic polarity
time scale (GPTS) of Cande & Kent (1992), using
recalibrated datum ages from Berggren et al. ( 1985), withsome amendments. For the workshop this chart was
extended to include various other nannofossil zonation
schemes that have been proposed in the past 10 years, andsome additional events. Workshop members discussed thedetails of the emended Wei & Peleo-Alampay chart andmade various comments, particularly on the Neogene
part, since we had most expertise in that part of the timescale. These comments w~re recorded by Shirleyvan Heckand are given below.
Workshop members noted that the correlations ofMiocene nannofossil events with the geomagnetic record
have been strongly revised in the last few years. These
revisions have been systematically incorporated, as aresult this is essentially a new chart and the zonal ages areoften very different to those of Wei & Peleo-Alampay( 1993 ). This chart only covers the Neogene. It is hoped to
produce a similar chart for the Palaeogene later.
Warnings- Within the zonations some names have been changed tomodern forms, and secondary zonal markers are generally
omitted.
- The correlation of Miocene nannofossil events to the
GPTS is under active research and review. Changes of up
to +/- 0.5 Ma in correlations are quite likely for mostevents. Revised ages for some Middle and Late Miocene
nannofossil events will be given in the ODP Leg 138
Scientific Results (Raffi, Shackleton and others). Authoritative syntheses of Neogene nannofossil magnetostratigraphy are in preparation by Aubry and eo-workers(as part of a revision ofthe Berggren et al. 1985 synthesis)
and by Backman, Raffi and Rio (to be presented atthe 1994
ODP Meeting in Aberystwyth).
-Even in good sections identification of magnetic anomalies and precise placement of nannofossil events is frequently difficult, and somewhat subjective.
- All events will be diachronous on some scale. Backman& Shackleton ( 1983) demonstrated that nannofossil events

can be synchronous over long distances with precisions<0.05Ma, but for most events on the chart such precision
has not yet been demonstrated.
- The chart was produced graphically and the positioningof lines is not highly precise, this gives a maximum
resolution of+/- 0.1 Ma.
- The GPTS of Cande & Kent ( 1992) is itself liable torevision, particularly the age control points used to calibrate the magnetic sequence. This could easily result inchanges of +I- 0.5Ma in the Miocene ages.

Notes on sources
The chart has been constructed by combining data fromvarious sources as explained below.

GPTS ofCande & Kent (1992)
Cande & Kent ( 1992) presented a thoroughly revised
magnetic polarity sequence, based on re-examination of
the primary data (i.e. ocean-floor anomaly patterns). In
addition they recalibrated this polarity sequence using thebest available radiochronological data for selected time
points. The resultant GPTS differs substantially the mostwidely used alternative, Berggren et al. ( 1985).
N.B. Cande & Kent (1992) use the nomenclaturesystem for geomagnetic polarity intervals based on thesea-floor record- chron numbers C l-C7 on the chart. Thissytem can extended by the use of suffixes to precisely refer
to any interval, see Cande & Kent (1992, p. 13948-9).
Older systems based on terrestial sequences use chronnames (e.g. Brunhes) and numbers without a prefix (5-11
on the chart). These are included on the chart since they
are used in many publications. For a longer explanation
see Berggren et al. (1985, p.213).
Nannofossil event - magnetostratigraphy correlations-Pieistocene and Late Pliocene: good correlations formost nannofossil events in this interval were available to
Berggren et al. (1985) and these have not been revised
here. Takayama (1993) and Raffi et al. (1993) give
updated details of sources for these correlations.

-Early Pliocene and Miocene: When Berggren et al.
( 1985) produced their GPTS and stratigraphic chart virtually no Early Pliocene or Miocene sections were available with both a good geomagnetic record and goodplanktonic microfossil records. Subsequently a limited
body of much better data has become available giving
reliable nannofossil to magnetic anomaly correlations=========================21=========================

Journal ofNannoplanlcton Research, 16, I, 1994.

J. R. Young et aL: Neogene Magnetobiostratigraphy, p. 21-27.

(see table). This new data is used here to position the
nannofossil events against the GPTS. N.B. In most cases
the original authors correlated their events against the
GPTS of Berggren et al. (1985) and so gave different
numerical ages, Wei & Peleo-Alampay (1993) give anequation for precisely recalculating such ages.
The source for a magnetobiostratigraphic assignment is indicated on the chart by a reference number on theevent line. Two reference numbers are only given when thedata comes from different sites. When two or more authors
have correlated an event at the same site only the mostrecent publication is indicated.

-Uncorrelated events. Nannofossil events for which nomagnetic correlation data is available are only included
here when they form zonal boundaries, and are shown by
dotted lines.
-Other syntheses: Similar syntheses of magnetostratigraphy and nannofossil events have been made by e.g.
Gartner (1990) and Takayama (1993). These do notinclude the data in Gartner ( 1992), and are calibrated to
the Berggren et al. (1985) GPTS. New syntheses will
doubtless be produced frequently, especially in ODP volumes.

Integrated Miocene Nannofossil Zonation of
Theodoridis (1984)
This is an alternative Miocene zonation scheme, based on
Mediterranean, Atlantic and Indian Ocean sections andintended to be of general use. It is included here in orderto facilitate use ofTheodoridis ( 1984 ), which is one of the
few monographs on Miocene nannofossils. Also it isnoteworthy that the new data on placing of nannofossil
events ("Other Events" column) strongly supports thequalitative sequence proposed by Theodoridis ( 1984 ), andthe zonation includes several markers which deserve
wider attention. N.B. Theodoridis ( 1984) used the genera
Eu-discoaster and Helio-discoaster in place of Discoaster,
his zones have been re-named here.

Notes on the chart - primarily from workshop
discussion(WD) - observation made during workshop discussion, as
far as possible cited references have been used instead of
this. Extensive discussions and notes on Neogene zonations
are made by Theodoridis (1984), Rio et al. (1990),
Fornaciari et al. (1990, 1993), Gartner (1992). PerchNielsen (1985) is the most widely used reference, andthese notes are meant to supplement/update it.
NN 19-21
Pleistocene zonations are shown for comparison purposes
only, and much additional data is omitted from the chart.

-Base CN 14a, CN l3b; there is some ambiguity as to wherethese events should be placed depending on the interpretation of Gephyrocapsa species adopted. Note that
G.caribbeanica is an inappropriate name(Gartner 1991).

NN17-Discoaster pentaradiatus LO; this may be somewhat
diachronous, occurring earlier in high productivity environments (WD).
NN16-D. surculus and D. lama/is LOs; these are both reliable
events (WD).
NN15-Reticulofeneslra pseudoumbilicus LO; this is an abrupt
event with simultaneous disappearance of specimens frorp
5~m to IO~m- Backman (1980), and Young (1990) give
biometric data. Using >7~m as a size definition of R.
pseudoumbilicus is convenient for biostratigraphy, butslight changes in the size definition do not change thelocation of the event.
NN14-Pseudoemiliania lacunosa FO, Gephyrocapsa FO; theseusually occur within NN14 (e.gDriever 1988) but they aregradational events and unsuitable for high resolution
zonations (WD).
-Zone CNIOD; this was added by Bukry (1981 ).
NN13-14-Ambiguous ceratoliths; ceratoliths with optical properties intermediate betweenAmaurolithus and Ceratolilhus
are sometimes observed during this time interval (WD).
-D. asymmelricus and D. lama/is FOs; these can be useful,but in both cases are strictly first common occurrence
events since rare specimens occur throughout the range ofD. brouweri.
NN12-Ceratolithus acutus range; some workshop members=============================22=============================

reported finding C. acutus above (eo-occurring with C.
rugosus, see also Rio et al., 1990) or below (eo-occurringwith D. quinqueramus) the limits conventionally reported.
NNJJ-D. quinqueramus LO; this can be problematic, due to rareor ambiguous specimens toward the top of its distribution.
It is probably a diachronous event (WD).
-Amaurolithus amplijicus; the restricted range within theupper part of NN 11 reported by Bergen (1984) is confirmed by Rio et al. (1990), and is proving a useful event(WD).
-Reticulofenestra rotaria; this is a circular variant of R.
pseudoumbilicus, it is distinctive but has rarely beenreported. Flores et al. ( 1992) record its occurrence at thelevel described by Theodoridis ( 1984).
-Minylitha convallis; Rio et al. ( 1990) and Gartner ( 1992)
report similar magnetobiostratigraphic correlations forboth the FO and LO ofM convallis, and these agree withthe sequential position of Theodoridis ( 1984 ). However,theabundanceofM. convallisis, highlyvariable,probably
due to ecological control and so it seems unsuitable as astandard marker species (WD).
-D. quinqueramus and D. berggrenii FOs;these appear tobe synchronous. D. berggrenii is perhaps best regarded asa sub-species or variety of D. quinqueramus - distinguished by having a larger central area: free ray ratio. At
the base of NNll it is more common than typical D.
quinqueramusand so makes a better marker. The uncertainty in the timing of this event at least partly reflects alack of good sections. Rio et al. (1990) suggest that D.
quinqueramuslberggrennii evolved gradationally from
D. bel/us and that this causes problems in event definition.

NNJO-small Reticulofenestra interval / R. pseudoumbilicus
paracme; Rio et al. ( 1990) and Young ( 1990) documented
an event in mid NN lO during which large specimens ofReticulofenestra (>about 5Jim) abruptly disappear. This
event has been further documented by Gartner ( 1992 ) andTakayama (1993), and it is apparent in the data ofPooreet al. ( 1984 ). Poore et al. ( 1984 ), Rio et al. ( 1990) andGartner ( 1992) all correlate this event with the top ofchron
C4A, it is thus one of the best calibrated Miocene events.
This event is followed by an interval with assemblages dominated by small Reticulofenestra specimens.
The reappearance of large specimens, in NN11, is a
gradualistic process and it is not yet clear whether it canbe used reliably for biostratigraphy. Rio et al. (1990)
suggested use of the FO of R. pseudoumbi licus specimens>7J1m long, this allows precise definition of a paracme(i.e. disappearance interval). The top of the small
Reticulofenestra interval (Young 1990) is undefined but
the term is slightly clearer, and so is used on the chart.
-D. neorectus FO; this event was used by Bukry ( 1973) to

Journal ofNannoplankton Research, 16, I, 1994.

subdivide zone CN8 but it has rarely been used and its
p!esence seems to inconsistent. The alternative marker,
D. /oeblichii FO, appears to be slightly more consistent,
but this is not a common species (WD).
-D. pentaradiatus FO; this certainly occurs within NNlO,
but does not seem to be a good event for high resolution
zonation since initial abundances are very low. (N.B.
Theodoridis (1984) used the name D. misconceptus instead of D. pentaradiatus).

NN9-CN7 A,B subdivision; Bukry ( 1973) used the FO of
Catinaster calyculus to divide CN7 into two subzones(CN7 A & B). This does not seem to be consistently
possible, and several authors have recorded C. calyculus
occurring below the D. hamatus FO (Rio et al. 1990).
-D. hamatus FO; The age assignment of Gartner ( 1992) isused since the magnetostratigraphy of Site 608 was lessambiguous than that of Site 710, and since it agrees wellwith the C. coa/itus FO record of Poore et al. (1984).
Olafsson ( 1991) shows that D. hamalus is only abundantin the latter part of its range resulting in serious problems
in defining its first occurrence, this may explain some ofthe discrepancies between reported levels.

-D. bel/us FO; this occurs at or just below the D. ha malus
FO(Theodoridis 1984, Rio eta/. 1990, Gartner 1992etc.).
NN6-8
A detailed revision of Mediterranean nannofossil zonation for this interval is in preparation by Agata di Stefano
and eo-workers.
NN7-D. kug/eri FO; this is a difficult event to use since D.
kugleri is usually rare and sporadic in distribution (WD,Rio et al. 1990). The level suggested by Gartner (1992)
was based on very few specimens and so is a minimum age
estimate, and has not been adopted on the chart.
-Cyclicargolithus jloridanus LO; Bukry (1973) , andTheodoridis (1984) used this as an alternative marker
synchronous with the D. kugleri FO. The data ofGartner(1992) supports this but much lower FOs have beenrecorded by e.g. Fornaciari et al. (1993) and Wei et al.
(1993). Evidently this event is strongly diachronous,
occurring at widely varying levels within NN6.
NN6
-Coronocyclus nitescens LO; this may be a good alternative indicator of the NN7 base, Fornaciari et al. ( 1990)
provide quantitative data.
-R. pseudoumbilicus (>7J1m) FO this has been documented occurring near the NN5/6boundary by Rio et al.
(1990), Olafsson (1991), Fornaciari et al. (1993) andTakayama (1993), it is, however, a gradational event andappears to be somewhat diachronous (Fomaciari et al. 1993).

NN4-Helicosphaera amp/iaperta LO; this is often problematicsince H. amp/iaperta is very often absent from open ocean
samples (eg. Rio et al. 1990). The FO of D. signus andD. tuberi occur just below this level, and are often better
markers (Rio et al. 1990). Also D. dejlandrei becomesmuch less abundant, ceasing to dominate discoaster assemblages (Rio et al. 1990, Olafsson 1991, Fomaciari etal. 1993). D. tuberi Filewicz (1985) is arguably a juniorsynonym of D. petaliformis Moshkovitz (1980), andE. signus Bukry ( 1971) emend Theodoridis ( 1984) is also
very similar.
-FO D. exilis; it is very hard to produce a consistentdefinition of D. exilis, or to use it in zonations (WD).
Gartner (1992) suggests that since the LO of
Triquetrorhabdulus milowli occurs just below the FO of

LO; this is a less distinct event than the S. ciperoensis LO(Fomaciari et al. 1990) but is observable at higher latitudes (Wei et al. 1993 ), and in worse preserved samples(WD) .

Taxonomic references for species not in
Perch-Nielsen (1985)
Ca/cidiscus premacintyrei Theodoridis ( 1985).
Calcidiscus tropicus Kamptner (1956) emend Gartner(1992).

Discoaster tuberi Filewicz ( 1985).
Helicosphaera stalis Theodoridis (1984).

Reticu/ofenestra bisecta (Hay, Mohler & Wade 1966)
Roth (1970).

Reticulofenestra rotaria Theodoridis ( 1984 ).
-Calcidiscus tropicus FO. This is essentially the FO of
Calcidiscus - Gardner (1992) suggests that
Cd. macintyrei should be restricted to the large Pliocene
forms, whilst the smaller Miocene circular Calcidiscus
specimens are placed in Cd. tropicus. This also resolves
the taxonomic problem of the priority of Cd tropicus
discussed by Gartner et al. (1984).
NN314
Quantitative data on the distribution of Spheno/ithus
heteromorphus and S. belemnos is given by Olafsson(1989) and Fomaciari et al. (1993).
-Triquetrorhabdu/us carinatus LO; this seems to be a very
unreliable event, with distribution ofT. carinatus being
sporadic. Quantitative data on the distribution of
Triquetrorhabdulus spp. is given by Olafsson ( 1989) andFornaciari et al. (1990, 1993).
NNJ-D. druggii FO; this can be difficult to use and is only
poorly correlated with the magnetostratigraphy, but it
remains one of the very few markers within this interval (WD).
Rioeta/. (l99l)andFornaciarieta/. (l993)recordasharp
acme of Sphenolithus delphix just below the D. drugii FO.

-Cyclicargolithus abisectus LO; this is a size reduction
event, with specimens over about llj.tm disappearing, it is
not sharp. Olafsson (1992) documents it in detail andsuggests it unsuitable as a zonation event.

-Helicosphaera recta LO; Gartner (1992) notes that H.
recta is rare toward the end of its range, but unmistakable.
His record of a LO significantly above that ofS. ciperoensis
is in line with other workers experience (WD). Fornaciari

et al. ( 1993) suggest that the NN 1/NP25 boundary should
be formally redefined at the LO of S. ciperoensis.

-H. carteri; this is gradational and unsuitable for highresolution work but occurrence of H. carteri is a good
indicator ofNeogene age, typical specimens do not occur
in the Palaeogene (WD).
