A concentration of exceptionally well-preserved large tubular foraminifera in the Eocene Zumaya flysch, northern Spain
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Abstract
A concentration of exceptionally well-preserved large tubular foraminifera occurs on a specimen from the sole of a sandstone bed from the Eocene Zumaya flysch. The foraminifera were probably washed out from the sediment by a weak bottom current, orientated and concentrated in a pre-existing depression on the ocean floor. Fortunately, subsequently deposited turbidite sand, which forms the host bed, only disturbed the fossils to an infinitesimal degree.
