Stratigraphy
Local section:Zumaya Local bed:18.30 m
Local order:bottom to top
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: Lower Ypresian. Acarinina berggreni biozone.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology:gray marl
Lithology description: gray marls
Environment:deep subtidal indet.
Geology comments: Unit U3 (40 cm) consists of grey marls. At the base of this unit (Z5), planktonic and benthic foraminifers are abundant and well preserved. Towards the top of unit U3 (Z6 and Z7), foraminiferal abundance and species richness decrease, and autochthonous foraminiferal calcareous tests are badly preserved and show partial dissolution.
