Previously issued in print in 2006. Digital resource published 2020.
Includes bibliographical references.
The biostratigraphy, taxonomy and phylogenetic systematics of Eocene planktonic foraminifera are treated in an illustrated atlas format. Scanning electron micrographs of the type specimens of 114 species are illustrated for the first time, providing new insight to the shell architecture and wall texture, particularly for species that were poorly illustrated when first described. The phylogenetic relationships of all species of Eocene planktonic foraminifera are reviewed. Analysis of wall textures, based on well-preserved material (much of which is illustrated for the first time) provides the basis for the higher taxonomy.
