Preliminary study of the benthic foraminifera of the San Francisco de Paula Section (Upper Paleocene-Lower Eocene), Ciudad de la Habana, Cuba

摘要

Benthic foraminifera were collected from the paleoceme-Eocene San Francisco de Paula section, Ciudad de la Habana, Cuba. The benthic foraminifera comprise a small portion (＜10) of the total formainiferal fauna. In each sample, the benthic Foraminifera generally have a high species diversity but few individuals per species. The paleoecologic setting indicated by the benthic Foraminifera is middle to upper bathyal. The benthic foraminifera collected from the San Francisco de Paula section are characteristic of the bathyal "Velasco type" fauna.
