There is no specific reference collection to this review article. Note, that neither in the text nor in the captions to illustrations any sample numbers are indicated. Most probably, specimens from which illustrations were drawn, are scattered in various regional parts of study materials in the collection of L. Hottinger. A direct link illustration-specimen is hence not possible.

 

See for example materials in the study collections from France (Cérisols [Petites Pyrénées]; Latoue; Mont Cayla [Aude]; Coustouge; Calders; Tuilerie de Gan; Aragon [Montagne Noire] ); Spain (Puigmasana & Estorm [Tremp]; Biarritzien de Bernouès [Huesca]; Benidorm; Alfaze [Benidorm]; Igualada), Italy (Buttrio [Udine] ); Morocco (Ouezzane); Egypt (Thèbes ).

Until present, no special collection could be found to this publication. However, there exists a box with SEM preparations to various studies, and some of these SEM stubs hold specimens of Eponides. It is unclear, whether the specimens on the SEM stubs belong to those illustrated in the above publication, but these preparations were obviously made in the course of the study of Hottinger, Reiss and Halicz (1990) or in connection to Hottinger, Halicz and Reiss (1991b, see further below).

Until present, no detailed collection could be found to this publication. However, there exists a box with SEM preparations to various studies, and some of these SEM stubs hold neorotalia (Pararotalia) calcar. It is unclear, whether the specimens on the SEM stubs are identical to those illustrated, but it is obvious, that these specimens belong to the study of Hottinger, Halicz, and Reiss (1991a).

 

The study material comes from the Gulf of Aqaba, Ramla, Keij Islands, Sybai (Philippines), Paris Basin and Victoria (Australia). Materials from these areas can be found within the study collection of L. Hottinger in K3/compactus C [MK, 28.10.2010].

Until present, no detailed collection could be found to this publication. However, there exists a box with SEM preparations to various studies, and some of these SEM stubs hold specimens of Eponides. Inspection showed, that the illustrated specimens do not exactly correspond to the specimens on these SEM stubs, but it is very probable, that these specimens belong to the study of Hottinger, Halicz, and Reiss (1991b).

 

However, the study material comes from the Gulf of Aqaba (including collections with submersible GEO), the Gulf of Naples, and from Crete). Materials from these areas can be found within the study collection of L. Hottinger in K3/compactus C [MK, 28.10.2010].

Study collections of Lukas Hottinger, containing illustrated and described specimens to the publication of Vicedo, V., Aguilar, M., Caus, E., and Hottinger, L. (2009). Fusiform and laterally compressed alveolinaceans (Foraminiferida) from both sides of the Late Cretaceous Atlantic. Neues Jahrbuch für Geologie und Paläontologie - Abhandlungen, vol. 253(2-3):229-247.

 

Two drawers with alveolinid study materials, that was originally collected and investigated by Manfred Reichel, and later incorporated into the collections of Lukas Hottinger by the latter.

 

• Drawer "Fabalveolina-Subalveolina, Reichel-Durif, Santonien-Campanien, Aquitaine": This drawer contains mixed "Fabalveolina" - Subalveolina material from the Santonian-Campanian material collected by Manfred Reichel-Durif in the Aquitaine, France. Particularly interesting is the material from Gensac/Mondilhan, from where the new species Fabalveolina reicheli Vicedo et al. (2009) was described. The unlabelled rock sample in the collection is most probably from Mondilhan 3 (oral communication V. Vicedo, 5-6 october 2017). Unfortunately and so far, the holotype of Fabalveolina reicheli Vicedo et al. (2009) could not be located in this or other collections of L. Hottinger. Illustrated paratypes to Fabalveolina reicheli, however, are present, see Figure 4 in Vicedo et al. (2009): The illustrated paratype in Figure 4.2 is labelled as "G1" on the rock specimen. The illustrated paratype in Figure 4.12 is labelled as "G2" on the rock specimen. In the same drawer there is also a pile of fotographic prints to F. reicheli , of which one of them is reproduced in Figure 4.3 in Vicedo et al. (2009). A printout of the paper Vicedo et al. (2009) is with the collection.

 

Drawer "Alveoliniden, Caribik, Murciella cuvilleri topotypes; Murciella from Bignot's locality 1972 in Slovenia": This drawer holds topotype materials to several species described and illustrated in Vicedo et al. (2009). These are

• Topotypes of Chubbina cardenasensis (Barker & Grimsdale, 1937)
• Topotypes of Subalveolina dordonica (Reichel, 1937) from the Santonian of the Dordogne in France.

Curation not complete yet: Only to a few holotypes described in this publication could be located so far. Many of the described types or illustrated sections may appear from the study collection with time. The study collection ("Arbeitssammlung) "Rotaliids" to this publication is deposited together with the few types, that could be located. It omprises a vast amount of only preliminarily sorted thin sections, hand specimens, washed residues and picked materials, that Lukas Hottinger had assembled over the years for a Rotaliid study. Alongside to the collection is a large archive of microfotographic prints of rotaliid species.

Study collections from the Mediterranean Sea (recent sediments):

In 1974, 1975, 1976 expeditions were undertaken to the Mediterranean Sea visiting Elba and Crete (for example the SANW expedition of P. Tardent, Zürich, and L. Hottinger, Basel, see filed books of L. Hottinger # 12 and #13). See also diving protocols during that expedition from Peter O. Wettstein (deposited in the micropal handlibrary to Lukas Hottinger in the NMB/Weisser Bär). There is also a report of L. Hottinger (1974) entitled Marin- biologische Expedition nach Kreta. Studies, that resulted from this material, include the diploma studies of Mario Wannier (1975) [Elba and Crete], Saskia Hollaus (1974) [Crete], and Thomas Wolf (1978) [Crete] about faunas from Recent sediments.

 

Later, marine biological excursions to Elba were also undertaken in 1983 and 1984 together with students, where sampling sites at Capo Calvo and Punta Galera were re-visited and sampled (samples 83025, 83028, 83031, 83032, 83033, 83034, 83039, and 84507, 84508: Punta Galera, 30m, 84512, 84513: Capo Calvo 36.5m.

For more information about sampling sites see the various unpublished reports of L. Hottinger, D. Senn, O. Wettstein and students from Elba and Crete, that are deposited in the micropal handlibrary to L. Hottinger in the NMB/Weisser Bär.

 

A further Mediterranean study area of L. Hottinger were annual foraminiferal successions at the Marine Biological Station in Piran (close to Trieste) during the years 1987 and 1988 (see fieldbook #15 of L. Hottinger), from where the diploma theses of Christian Michel (1996) and Barbara Schmucker (1996) emerged.

 

Other Mediterranean sampling locations of L. Hottinger were Menorca and the western Mediterranean Sea (Recent sediments, possibly collected in 1975, see fieldbook # 13 of L. Hottinger).

Study collections from the Gulf of Elat (Red Sea, Recent sediments):

The Recent marine ecosystem from the Elat, Gulf of Aqaba and neighbouring areas (southern Sinai, Red Sea) was a major interest in Lukas Hottinger's and his collaborator's research agenda, from which numerous publications resulted (Hottinger, L. (1972b); Hottinger, L. and Dreher, D. (1974); Zohary, T., Reiss, Z. and Hottinger, L. (1980); Fricke, H.W. and Hottinger, L. (1983); Hottinger, L. (1984a); Reiss, Z. and Hottinger, L. (1984); Hottinger, L., Halicz, E., and Reiss, Z. (1993), but also those of Reiss, Z. et al. (1977); Reiss, Z. and Hottinger, L. (1984); and Hottinger, L., Halicz, E. and Reiss, Z. (1993). This research extended from about 1970 to 1982, with diving and sampling campains during the years 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1981 and 1982. During 1981 and 1982 expeditions were also made in the Gulf of Elat using a submarine (see fieldbooks #9 and #11 of L. Hottinger). Some limited material (labelled in the collections as "HU-samples") is from collaboration with members of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

 

There is a vast collection of Recent foraminiferal sands, coral samples, algal reefs, ocoliths, mollusks, and wet samples from these investigations. Notably, there is an excellent raw material collection of Recent foram sands from Elat / Gulf of Aqaba to the publication of Reiss and Hottinger, 1984.

More documentation and maps about expeditions and sampling is deposited in the micropaleontological hand library/Weisser Bär (hand library and files of Lukas Hottinger).

Study collections from Madagascar (Recent sediments):

Collection of Recent sediments comprising beautiful samples rich in Amphisorus hemprichii, Heterostegina depressa, Soritids, and other recent larger benthic foraminifera from Madagascar.

 

The material was originally collected at Tuléar (SW Madagascar) by Bernard A. Thomassin (Station Marine d'Endoume et Centre d'Océanographie, Marseilles, France) in the years 1965 through 1970, and some by J. Picard during september 1968, and then brought to the Station Marine d'Endoume et Centre d'Océanographie in Marseilles.

The material comprises vials with unprocessed foraminiferal sands, some wet (poisoned ?), and some of them stained rose.

 

A second batch of samples was collected by Raphael Planke in the years from 1965-1970 at Tany Kely, a small islet south of Nosy-Bé, in northwestern Madagascar. See Plante, R. (1967). Etude quantitative du Benthos dans la région de Nosy-Bé: Note préliminaire. Cahiers O.R.S.T.O.M., sér. Océanographique, vol. V, no. 2, pp. 7-14. See also the publications from Plante-Cuny, M.-R. (1974) and, for example, Thomassin, B.A. (1986).

 

In 2004 this material was rescued from being discarded and sent to L. Hottinger at GPI in Basel.

Study collections from Mauritius (recent sediments):

Several members from Swiss Universities including Lukas Hottinger collaborated in the multidisciplinary European research project CCE 946 / 88 and 946 / 89 Sauvetage des Ecosystems Littoraux de Maurice, which was led by the Université d'Aix-Marseille I et III and the Université de Maurice. The Swiss participation was project "The littoral ecosystem of Mauritius (Indian Ocean), which was led by J. Geister (Univ. Bern), B. Kübler (Limnocéane, Neuchatel), and by L. Hottinger (Univ. Basel), and which was funded by SNF.

 

In this project Hottinger visited Mauritius from 1989-1990 during three field trips, when he collected large amounts of recent benthic foraminifera, algae, and reef sediments. This material was picked into Fema cells, multiple field cells, or exists as washed residues of various size fractions. A locality map from Mauritius included with the collection. Accompanying literature, a number of dissertations, field notes, reports, and detailed locality maps are deposited together with other Hottinger files in the Micropaleo Hand Library at the NMB (Weisser Bär). Fieldbook No. 16 of Hottinger contains sketches and details to the collected materials. There is a report of Hottinger, L., Müller, N., Müller, J. and Vasseur, P. (1990) summarizing some of the field observations.

 

The collection comprises Recent sediments, coral specimens, rhodolites, hardgrounds, reefal deposits, and algae collected during that time.

In particular there are several sub-collections, that are related to more specialized studies, i.e.:

 

• A study of Patrick Ruch [participant in the above mentioned multidisciplinary study of the coastal ecosystem of Mauritius between 1989 and 1991], with residues and surface sediments. A manuscript copy of the report Ruch, P., Gendre, F., Beck, C., and Kübler, B. (1989-1990). Physico-chimie des eaux douces et marines de Maurice. (exact reference not known) is deposited alongside this collection. See also the publication of Gendre, F., Beck, C., Ruch, P., and Kübler, B. (1994) and references therein;
• The collection of SEM preparations (stubs) of recent Miliolids from Mauritius including a card catalogue. This material is (probably) related to the report Hottinger, L. and Pignatti, J.S. (1990 or later). Shallow water recent miliolina from the eastern coast of Mauritius with special reference to eutrophication. Manuscript text, sample descriptions, SEM micrographs.
• The "Montaggioni 10-808" collection of recent foraminiferal sands from Mauritius. A folder "Montaggioni sub-collection (1989-1990)" is included with the collection containing correspondence between Lucien Montaggioni and L. Hottinger, sample lists, field notes and maps to the samples from Mauritius. Some years earlier Montaggioni published about foraminiferal faunas from Mauritius, i.e. Montaggioni, L.F. (1981). Les foraminifères dans les sédiments récifaux de l'archipel des Mascareignes (Océan Indien). Ann. Inst. Océanogr. 67(1):41-62. See also the thesis of Montaggioni, L.F. (1978).

• A collection of foraminiferal and reefal sands from various locations from Mauritius (P1-P8 / Pécheux / Ile Plate / Réunion 1-3 / Maurice 3c, M11, 13, H1, see Fieldbook No. 16 of Hottinger).
• A large collection of recent foraminiferal, reefal sands, and corals from Mauritius, collected in 1989 (samples 89001-89614) and in 1990 (samples 90101-90206) (see Fieldbook No. 16 of Hottinger and the above mentioned information). There is a yellow folder Study collns. L. Hottinger/Mauritius "sample database" deposited alongside the collection.
• There is a collection of picked and isolated foraminifera from Mauritius, for which there exists an unpublished text from Revets, S.A. and Hottinger, L. (datum post 1990).

2.3.) Study collections from Morocco:

 

Curational remarks:

From 1959 to 1964 Lukas Hottinger had a professional position as a micropaleontologist at the Service Géologique du Maroc in Rabat, where he mainly collaborated with Georges Choubert (=head of the geological Service at that time), Anne Faure-Muret, Roger Lehmann, Gabriel Suter, Charles Hamel and other colleagues. The general interest of the group was the the geological development, stratigraphy and structure of the Moroccon Rif and Atlas Mountains, for which Hottinger and Lehmann concentrated on the micropaleontological aspects. For a summary on the geology of NW Africa see, for example chapter 5 in Bellion, Y.J.-C. (1989).

 

First summaries under this constellation appeared in Durand Delga, Hottinger, Marçais, Mattauer, Millard and Suter (1962) about "Données actuelles sur la structure du Rif and Hottinger (1962) entitled "Documents micropaléontologiques sur le Maroc: Remarques génerales et bibliographie analytique". In the same volume (tome 21) of the Notes du Service Géologique du Maroc micropaleontological studies appeared by Lehmann (1962 b) about the globotruncanids of Tarfaya in southeastern Morocco. Later this was an important area from where Hottinger (1966) collected and published the foraminiferal biostratigraphy (see further below). For clarification of the stratigraphy and paleogeography of the Rif- and Prérif nappes Hottinger and his colleagues travelled and collected their samples primarily in the northern Rif-zone (Melilla Peninsula, Tanger-Ceuta area), the Zone Prérifaine (Chaîne du Gareb, Avant-Pays du Rif oriental), and the Rides Prérifaines at the southern boundary of the Zone Prérifaine. A useful guide to understand the research strategy of Hottinger in the Rif and Atlas domain is given in Faure-Muret and Choubert (1971). A useful study of the Neogene post-nappe deposits in the northern Morocco is given in Wernli (1987). Other sampling excursions led to the Moyen Atlas and Haute Atlas regions, and the Tarfaya Basin with its Cretaceous deposits and bordering Paleozoic outcrops. Publications that refer to these more geologically oriented studies include Hottinger and Suter (1962) [La structure de la zone prérifaine au sud du moyen Ouerrha (Maroc septentrional)]; Choubert, Hottinger, Marçais and Suter (1964) [Stratigraphie et micropaléontologie du Néogène au Maroc septentrional]; Choubert, Faure-Muret, Hottinger and Lecointre (1966a) on the Melilla Basin; Choubert, Faure-Muret, Hottinger, and Lecointre (1966b) [Le prétendu "Piocène" de Charf el Akab près de Tanger], Hottinger (1966e) [Résumé de la stratigraphie micropaléontologique du Mésozoique et du Tertiaire Marocain]; Charlot,..., Hottinger, et al. (1967) on the Messinien du Maroc; Collington, Lehmann, Hottinger et al. (1966) and Choubert, Faure-Muret, and Hottinger (1966b) on the Tarfaya Basin. Explicit micropaleontological studes include Hottinger's Habilitation (1967c) entitled "Foraminifères imperforés du Mésozoique marocain". Numerous smaller more taxonomic studies about benthic foraminifera include Hottinger (1965a and 1966b) [about Palmula and Flabellina from Tarfaya]; Hottinger (1965b) about Uvigerines from the Neogene of Morocco; Hottinger (1966c) about Heterostegina, Grzybowskia et Spiroclypeus néogènes du Maroc; Hottinger (1966d) about Ammonia; and Hottinger (1976) [Canal system of Trocholina chouberti].

 

The materials deposited in the study collections of Lukas Hottinger from Morocco touches each of these publications in one or the other way. However, only a comparably limited fraction of the many samples were actually selected and described in the above mentioned publications. With the exception of the material studied in the Tarfaya area (Choubert et al., 1966a and b, Hottinger, 1965a, 1966b, d), and to Hottinger (1967c) the precise provenance of the samples is rather poorly documented in the publications, sections or maps, only providing descriptive information about the sampling area. Hottinger's collection of samples from Morocco includes hundreds of washed residues, which are labelled with a numbering system, but often without providing comprehensive sampling lists. From most of the samples in the study collection there exist only hand written notes on loose notepads or as entries in Hottinger's field books. For localization of Hottinger's sampling sites from the Avant-Pays du Rif oriental (Kert-Gareb area) the dissertation of Hamel (1965 and 1968) is extremely helpful.

 

In a wider framework one has to keep in mind that the study collections from Morocco complement those from southern Spain (see further below). One of Hottinger's interest was a comparison of the Paleogene stratigraphy and paleobiogeography of the Rif domain in Morocco against the Betic chains in southern Spain. In northern Morocco the Rif include tectonic units like the Domaine ultra / Dorsale calcaire / Domaine externe / Nappe Prérifaine / Rides Prérifaines, while in southern Spain their counterparts are the Péribétique / Prébétique / Unités intermédiaires / Subbétiques / Bétiques (see sketches of L. Hottinger in Fieldbook #5). In this wider context the tectonic overviews given in Faure-Muret and Choubert (1971); Romagny, A. (2011); Ellero et al. (2012); or Michard et al. (2015) are helpful.

 

The following information about the samples in Hottinger's study collections from Morocco was therefore compiled after visual scanning Hottinger's unpublished legacy like field books and notepads remaining from the excursions. During curation, however, sampling trips could partially be reconstructed and it was recognized that Hottinger's numbering scheme for Morocco samples followed more or less tectonic units. Sample numbers ME are hence related to the Melilla area, AM stand probably for Moyen Atlas, HA for Haut Atlas, and RPr for the Rides Prérifains.

 

For locating geographic areas consult also the topographic and geological maps from Morocco in the maps archive.

Study materials from J.-C. Griffon and J. Muylaert from the Chaîne calcaire du Rif interne [singular materials only but currently deposited with the reference collections under Griffon and Muylaert].

Les Rifides or "Dorsale Calcaire" is a tectonic unit within the internal zone of the northern Moroccan Rif mountains [see page 20 ff in Faure-Muret, A. and Choubert, G. (1971); Griffon, J.-C. and Muylaert, J. (1962 ); Griffon, J.-C., (1965) ]. During the 1960is there were intense geological investigations about the Rif by members of the Moroccan Geological Service, including L. Hottinger, who was employed as micropaleontologist at the Service géologique Marocain at that time.

The present singular materials of Jean-Claude Griffon (1 washed sample Griffon 106 with nummulites from the Dorsale Calcaire) and Jean Muylaert (2 washed samples M155 and M156 from the Priabonian of the Dorsale Calcaire at Jebkha) were surely collected in the framework of the above mentioned research. However, a precise assignment of these sample numbers to publications could hitherto not be done; possibly the material is related to the Eocene flysch of the Dorsale calcaire mentioned in Muylaert, J. (1966).

The sample Griffon 106 was perhaps collected during the framework of the Griffon & Muylaert (1962) study, but is not mentioned in that publication.

Similarly, the samples M155 and M156, which come from Jebkha (coastal city between Tetouan and El Hoceima in northern Morocco), but not from the Tetouan area (the area south of Tetouan area was the study area in the thesis of Griffon, J.-C., (1965).

Some comments about this material:

1.) Diouri denotes the name of its collector (not a locality name), i.e. Mohammed Diouri, former chef de la Division de la géologie du Maroc, Service géologique du Maroc.

 

2.) Diouri samples were also used in the collection to Hottinger (1965a).

 

3.) Significance of this material: In the Tarfaya sections Cretaceous sequences occur from the upper Albian to Campanian, and are capped by a transgressive Miocene (Marnes tortoniennes) and overlaid by the Moghrebien (see pp. 58-61 in Choubert, Faure-Murat and Hottinger, 1966 b). The lower Cretaceous until the Albian is continental-deltaic, while from within the Albian through Campanian the serie is in marine facies (Gebhardt, Kuhn and Holbourn, 2004) and so documenting the opening of the Atlantic and establishment of the early upwelling regime off western Morocco. During the Campanian a marine transgression occurred leading to the replacement of the more restricted benthic faunas with Gabonellids by extremely diverse benthic faunas thereafter, which seem comparable to faunas in Central America (Siphogenerinoides). The above materials in this portion of the study collection of Hottinger addresses some of these environmental changes.

 

The accompanying samples "Dano-Montian" and RPr 187 from the Montien prérifain concern questions about the regional development of the Paleogene in SW Morocco, i.e. predominant absence of Paleogene deposits in Tarfaya and the presence of Paleogene deposits in the Rio de Oro area and further to the north (couches phosphatées) and in the Prérif. At Tarfaya, there is only notion of a single nummulite bearing remain of mid-late Cuisian age from the Moghrebian de la Sebkha El Khemira (Hottinger 1966 f).

2.4.) Study collections from Spain:

Study collections Lukas Hottinger / Southern Spain (1960).

General note: The study collections from Southern Spain and from Morocco complement each other. One of L. Hottinger's guideline was a comparison of the Paleogene stratigraphy and paleobiogeography of the Betic chains in southern Spain against the Rif domain in Morocco.

In southern Spain these tectonic and paleogeographic units include the Péribétique / Prébétique / Unités intermédiaires / Subbétiques / Bétiques. In the the northern Morocco Rif the counterparts include the Domaine ultra / Dorsale calcaire / Domaine externe / Nappe Prérifaine / Rides Prérifaines (see notes L. Hottinger in Fieldbook #5).

The collection strategy follows this scheme to some degree by assembling typical stratigraphic sections from both sides of the Mediterranean Sea.

 

For larger regional context see for example Faure-Muret and Choubert (1971); Romagny, A. (2011); Ellero et al. (2012); Michard et al. (2015).

3.) Collection of thin-sections and SEM preparations of Lukas Hottinger:

Back to overview collections of Lukas Hottinger

 

3.1.) Thin-sections

 

Lukas Hottinger has a vast collection of thin sections comprising those preparations from his Dissertation, thin sections to published type-and reference materials, and thin sections to structural pre-studies or unpublished observations to benthic foraminiferal genera and species scattered.

 

Although thin sections are scattered all around through the various collections from Lukas Hottinger, there two major bodies where thin sections are concentrated, i.e.

• PhD thesis on Paleocene and Eocene alveolinids (Hottinger, 1960a,b). Standort.
• Thin section collection of Lukas Hottinger. Standort.

The majority of all thin-sections are labelled with a continuous numbering system per preparation. In many cases several thin sections were prepared from the same sample in order to obtain oriented sections for ultrastructural analyses. Thin section numbers begin with No. 1 up to # 16'359 or even higher. Note, that thin-section numbers are not identical to field sample numbers.

 

Field sample numbers were initially a letter code with digits, and later followed a 5 digit code similar to the numbering system of Hans Schaub. The first two digits represent the year of collection, and the remaining three digits represent the sample in a section in the field.

 

Documentation to thin sections: Schliffbücher 1-3:

Thin section numbers and field sample numbers are recorded in volumes 1 through 3 of his "Schliffbücher", where his has also noted determinations and sampling localities. Standort: These books are deposited alongside the collection of thin-sections.

4.) Historical collections of L. Hottinger

Back to overview collections of Lukas Hottinger

 

4.1.) Foraminiferal collection of (?) R. Häusler (1881-1893) [only parts]

 

According to Seibold (1966) a several historically important foraminiferal collections of Rudolf Häusler are lost or their location/deposition is unknown. In the present case it is a small collection of foraminiferal preparations (2 red cardboard boxes), that most probably were part of Rudolf Häusler's original collection. The preparations comprise glass-slides with single- or multiple specimens or grain-preparations holding recent and fossil foraminifera. The kind of preparations, the labelling, and writing is very similar - not identical - to those described and illustrated in Oesterle, H. (1969) on pages 698-699 and in Figure 2 of that publication. Unfortunately, there are no specimens of Globigerina helvetojurassica (as mentioned in Oesterle, 1969) alongside with this particular material. This sub-collection was re-discovered in 2019 during curatorial work in the study collections of Lukas Hottinger. Unfortunately, there was no further information or documentation deposited with this material.

Diploma thesis of Christiane Vogt (ca. 1978-1980). Geologische Kartierung südwestlich Bitschwiller (Südvogesen). Diplomarbeit Universität Freiburg i.Br.

 

Christiane Vogt carried out her diploma thesis under the supervision of Prof. Rudolf Maass (University of Freiburg i. Br.). Between 1978 - 1980 she was also co-supervised by Lukas Hottinger (Basel) for the micropaleontological aspects of her study.

 

In the collections of the NMB a brief mention of this collaboration was found in the collections of L. Hottinger. In his correspondence from November 1977 to R. Maass. Manfred Reichel mentioned collaborative interest about Viséan foraminiferal studies from nearby Vosges together with Prof. Eduard Wenk (Basel) and Prof. Daniel Bernoulli (Basel). However, a publication of such a project could never be realised.

 

The material deposited is a small collection of thin-sections from the Viséan of the southern part of the Vosges, from which endothyrid foramininifers (Endothyra, Plectogyra) were determined and illustrated by M. Reichel. Whether these slides were part of Christiane Vogt's diploma thesis is unclear. The slides are labelled with the following numbers: V434, V464, V695, V699, V701, V703, V708, V755, and V 756.

 

Of Christiane Vogt's diploma thesis unfortunately only manuscript copies of part II and part III are deposited alongsdide with this material.

 

Part II is entitled: Mikropakläontologische Untersuchung der Kalke südwestlich von Bitschwiller-les-Thann (Südvogesen), while Part III is the Discussion. Part I (Geologische Kartierung südwestlich von Bitschwiller) is not deposited at the NMB.

 

A later publication about the benthonic smaller foraminifera from the lower carboniferous of the southern Vosges appeared in 1981 (Vogt, C., 1981), and is deposited with the above documents and materials.

Reference collection to the diploma thesis of Saskia-Silja Hollaus (1994). Recent benthic Mediterranean Foraminiferids from Crete (Greece). Diploma thesis, 111p., 19 plates. Zoologisches Institut Basel. Supervisor: Prof. L. Hottinger.

 

Collection of sample residues (including materials from SANW-Expedition 1974 to Crete) and SEM preparations. A copy of the diploma thesis and sample lists are deposited with the collection. A collection of SEM fotos and the originals to plates (with original scaling) are deposited in the micropaleontological hand library Weisser Bär (diploma theses supervised by Lukas Hottinger; see also additional documentation deposited in the micropaleontological hand library Weisser Bär about expeditions to Crete).

 

Remark:

The SEM preparations (2 boxes) holding benthic forams were found in the collns. of L. Hottinger (K3/C14/6/199) without any labelling or legend. Cards with sketches to SEM stubs were separately found with the literature files to the diploma thesis of Saskia Hollaus/literature of L. Hottinger in the Weisser Bär. Visual inspection of the SEM stubs with the sketches on the card and the illustrated specimens given in the diploma thesis confirmed, that both (most probably) belong together. The numbering in the boxes corresponds to the numbers indicated on the cards. SEM stubs and card files are therefore now kept together in the collection to Hollaus (1994).
