1.) Stratigraphy of the eastern Lombardian Basin (northern Italy):

Study collection to Knappertsbusch, M. (1985). Geologie und Mikropaläontologie im Valle di Costa, Prov. Brescia, Italia. Diploma thesis ETH Zürich, 100 p.

The collection holds washed (sieved) residues, remains of many of the washed samples, and hand specimens from the studied sections and lithologies. The micropaleontological slides (picked microfossils) and thin sections are deposited in the collections of the Geological Institute ETH, Zürich.

Along with the study collection there is a xerox copy of the diploma thesis, a full copy set of the studied sections, re-printed maps of the spot-map and the interpreted geological map. These documents are also deposited at the media server of the NMB in electronic format (i.e. pdfs to texts and sections, jpg images of the fotos in the text, and scans of the spot-map, the interpreted geological map, the sample map and the structural map (jpg and photoshop documents). Also included is the set of notes with primary micropaleontological observations and X-ray diffractograms from the samples.

An extra set of maps and transparency overlay maps (geological outcrop map, map with locations of sections and samples, and a structural map) and sections, that were prepared by Knappertsbusch in 1985 as duplicates is deposited in the maps archive of the NMB, Lista unit 7, drawer No. 12 (the originals are deposited at the Geological Institute ETH in Zürich).

Results of this study were later included and published in a joint paper by Lehner, B.L., Knappertsbusch, M.W., Heer, P.H. (1987). Biostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy and sedimentology of the Maiolica Lombarda and the Scaglia Lombarda on the west side of Lake Garda (Northern Italy), Memorie di Scienze Geologiche, Universita di Padova, vol. 39, pp. 1-35. A copy of this publication is also alongside to the collection.

2.) Study- and Reference collections to coccolithophore studies:

 

2.1.) Mediterranean Sea
 
2.1.1 - Study collection to Knappertsbusch, M. (1990 a). Geographic distribution of modern coccolithophorids in the Mediterranean Sea and morphological evolution of Calcidiscus leptoporus. PhD. Dissertation No. 9169, ETH Zürich, pp. 1-72 (part 1), and

Knappertsbusch, M. (1993 a). Geographic distribution of living and Holocene coccolithophores in the Mediterranean Sea. Marine Micropaleontology, vo. 21, pp. 219-247. [For raw data, cell- and coccolith counts in the plankton samples and sediments to this paper see the electronic archive to the PhD thesis of M. Knappertsbusch on the internal Media (M) server of the NMB].

The collection to the above two publications includes remaining filter samples (air dried), sediment samples from box-cores and from piston cores raised during French VICOMED I and VICOMED II oceanographic expeditions into the Mediterranean Sea (1968 and 1988). The slide reference collection (slide preparations from filters) are deposited at the Geological Institute of the ETH in Zürich (collection to PhD Dissertation of M. Knappertsbusch). A copy of the thesis and a reprint of the publication to Knappertsbusch (1993 a) are deposited alongside with the collection. An annotated pdf version of the thesis and raw data (with coccolith counts from VICOMED I and II cruises) are stored on the internal media server (M) of the NMB. Also included with the collections are the original temperature vs salinity plots from CTD casts during cruises VICOMED I and II, and the field books during the VICOMED I and II cruises from M. Knappertsbusch.

Alongside to the reprint of Knappertsbusch (1993 a) there are two manuscript versions to this article: One of these is a xerox of an early version stoll having included plates with SEM micrographs of coccolithophores (actually, this was taken from the Thesis part 1). The manuscript version 2 (from 27 March 1992) to the paper contains printed lists of coccolith countings of the samples. This is the only available printed revised list of the original data and should not be discarded (!). Please note, that the published article (=version 3) came without listings of the original raw data.

Enclosed with the collection are reprints of related publications of Jordan, R.W., Knappertsbusch, M., Simpson, W.R., and Chamberlain, A.H.L. (1991). Turrilithus latericioides gen. et sp. nov., a new coccolithophorid from the deep photic zone. British Phycological Journal, 26:175-183, and of Knappertsbusch, M. (1993 b).

2.1.2 - Raw material collection of Knappertsbusch, M. / Box-cores from VICOMED expeditions, Mediterranean Sea

This is a collection of unprocessed sediments sub-sampled from a total of 18 box-cores (type USNEL) raised during the VICOMED I and VICOMED II expeditions into the western and eastern Mediterranean Sea in 1986 and 1988.

From VICOMED I sub-cores were taken from stations BAL, ALG, ANN, TUN, SIC, MAL, ANA, and YOS. From VICOMED II sub-cores come from stations LIO, MAJ, ALG, PAN, CRO, SKE, OTR, PEL, CRE and KHA (for positions of these stations see Knappertsbusch, M., 1993 a).

The sub-cores were taken using an especially designed "Ghillardi sub-sampler" made in polystyrene, that allowed to sub-sample comparably large slabs of sediment from the box-core. The cross area of the slabs were 12.5 cm x 9 cm, and most sub-cores attained a length between 25 to 30 cm representing a continous record over approximately the latest 2000 years of the Holocene over a west to east transect troughout the entire Mediterranean Sea. After collection, sediments were immediately placed in vertical position into a refridgerator on board and kept constantly deep-frozen at -19°C until further processed on land.

After having preserved the slabs continuously deep-frozen for more than 26 years, they were sectioned and processed to dry bulk sediment samples in 2014 in the laboratories of the Natural History Museum Basel. For this purpose the frozen cores were photographed, measured, and the frozen sediment dry-sectioned into 1-cm thick slices using a stone-saw. From the slices the wet and dry bulk densities were pycnometrically estimated. Thereafter the sediments were thawn and dried in an oven. The dried sediment slices are wrapped in plastic bags and deposited in the raw materials collections of the NMB until further analysis.

All documentation including a processing report by Schmutz, S. (2014), laboratory processing sheets, notes and observations on the material, and some selected literature is deposited alongside the collections. An electronic documentation about processing the VICOED cores and images of frozen core slabs and slices are deposited on the media server of the NMB.
