An example of evolutionary trends in the Miogypsinidae (Foraminiferida) from Turkey

The objectives of the study are to establish evolutionary trends in the miogypsinid foraminifera from Mediterranean Tethyan carbonates in Turkey. Taxa classified under the genera Miogypsinella, Postmiogypsinella and Miogypsina and their assemblages closely resemble the fauna described from European marine sequences. The foraminiferal assemblages, studied in thin sections, are interpreted as representative of the Shallow Benthic Zones (SBZ)...
