Stratigraphic value of silicoflagellates in nontropical regions

March 2, 1974

Silicoflagellates are important biostratigraphic markers for age determination in nontropical regions because age-diagnostic calcareous microfossils are sparse. Upper Cretaceous and Cenozoic biostratigraphic zonation is proposed, based on silicoflagellates from Deep Sea Drilling Project sites in the subantarctic region.
