First calcareous nannofossil record from the Jurassic strata exposed in the Blue Nile Basin (Ethiopia)
Sreepat Jain,Abha Singh +1 more
TL;DR: Based on the first ever nannofossil record from the Blue Nile Basin (Ethiopia), new ages spanning Early Callovian to Late Tithonian are proposed for the Antalo Limestone.

Middle Bathonian Indonesian Macrocephalites cf. etheridgei (Spath) from SW Somalia
TL;DR: In this article, the age of the Anole marl (Anole Formation) exposed in South Western Somalia is appraised and found to be of Middle Bathonian age, which has a profound bearing not only on the stratigraphy of Somalia but also on the age implications of equivalent strata exposed in East Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upper Jurassic palynology from the Blue Nile Basin (Ethiopia)
TL;DR: In this article, the first palynological assemblage from the upper part of the Antalo Limestone Formation from the Blue Nile Basin (central western Ethiopia) is presented, containing 70 morphospecies belonging to 39 morphogenera including pollen, spores, fungi, algae, dinoflagellates cysts and foraminifera test linings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discovery of chitinoidellids and calpionellids from the Blue Nile Basin and the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in Ethiopia
TL;DR: In this article , the discovery of chitinoidellids and calpionellids from two sections of the Blue Nile Basin has confirmed the presence of Cretaceous deposits and conclusively extended the age of the Antalo Limestone Formation to late Berriasian.

Ecology and Applications of Benthic Foraminifera
TL;DR: This book presents the ecological background required to explain how fossil forms are used in dating rocks and reconstructing past environmental features including changes of sea level and demonstrates how living foraminifera can be used to monitor modern-day environmental change.

Sequence stratigraphy: methodology and nomenclature
Octavian Catuneanu,William E. Galloway,Christopher G. St. C. Kendall,Andrew D. Miall,Henry W. Posamentier,André Strasser,Maurice E. Tucker +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a standard but flexible methodology is proposed to analyze stratal stacking patterns in a sequence stratigraphic unit, from sequence to systems tract and parasequence.
