Taxonomic Notes on the Abyssal Agglutinated Benthic Foraminifera of the HEBBLE (High Energy Benthic Boundary Layer Experiment) Area (Lower Nova Scotian Continental Rise)

摘要

Eighty species and morphological varieties of agglutinated benthic foraminifera were identified in sediments from the HEBBLE Site (4800 m depth) and the HEBBLE Shallow Site (4185 m) on the lower Nova Scotian Continental Rise. Details of their morphology and classification are included in descriptions of each species, and representative specimens are illustrated using SEM, light microscopy, and X-radiography. (Author)
