Eocene sediments and a fresh to brackish water biota from the early rifting stage of the Upper Rhine Graben (west of oil field Landau, southwest Germany): implications for biostratigraphy, palaeoecology and source rock potential
The Eocene biota from the pre-rifting stage of the Upper Rhine Graben (southwest Germany) is, with exception of the world-famous fossil sites Messel and Bouxwiller, poorly known. While from these localities ex...

Contribution to the biodiversity of the lower Frankfurt Formation (Miocene) in the Hanau Basin (Germany): a new Hymenomonas (calcareous nannoplankton) and a new Scrippsiella (dinoflagellate) species
Fine-grained calcareous sediments often contain mass occurrences of well-preserved micro- and nannofossils, providing a wide range for biodiversity studies and enable to establish index-fossils. In our researc...

Standard Palaeogene Calcareous Nannoplankton Zonation
THE stratigraphic value of a group of marine minute algae usually referred to as the calcareous nannoplankton, first shown by Bramlette and Riedel1, has already been discussed2. A standard zonation, based partly ...
