The type-collection includes the illustrated thin sections and isolated specimens in fema cells, that are disscussed in the PhD dissertation of H.P. Luterbacher. There are also the original drawings of the thin sections and microphotographs (paper prints) with the collection.

The reference collection encompasses additional materials that was studied and partially mentioned in the thesis but which was not explicitely illustrated. This includes 10 trays with picked foraminiferal faunas in Fema-cells and multicellular slides. Of thesese the assemblage slides G-1 through G 256 are documented in more detail in Luterbacher, H.P. and Premoli Silva, I. (1962), but see also Luterbacher, H.P. and Premoli Silva, I. (1964). On 2 extra trays there are thin-sections from the Valle della Contessa section (samples V18 through V82) to Luterbacher, H.P. (1964). The accompagnying elongate red box contains Fema-cells with isolated specimens of planktic foraminifers from the Gubbio sections, that were drawn by H.P. Luterbacher but not published.

Materials collected from petroleum and gas exploration drill-holes in Switzerland (Essertines, Linden, Entlebuch, Cuarny, Altishofen, Courtion):

In Switzerland thermogeneous gaz indications were found in oil- and gaz exploration drill-holes of Altishofen, Berlingen, Cuarny, Eclépens, Essertines, Herdern, Courtion1 (see Python et al., 1998), Fendringen1 (see also Python et al., 1998), Hermringen, Kreuzlingen, Lindau, Linden 1, Pfaffnau, Ruppoldsried, Savigny, Tschugg and Tuggen (Wyss et al., 2002). Gaz was commercially exploited in Finsterwald (drill hole Entlebuch-1, Lahusen and Wyss, 1995). The following materials were collected/studied by Luterbacher from some of these exploration drill holes:

2.) Bohrung Essertines 1.

Collection of wash-samples (Spülproben) in plastic bags and palynological preparationes (liquid, in glass vials) from well Essertines 1 in the Canton Waadt.The drilling covers Molasse through Triassic. The drilling company was Brigitta Elverat, Hannover (BEB), a former part of Shell and Esso (BEB is no loger existing). The palynological studies (unpublished) were done by Wolfgang Wille (Mössingen; Geological-Paleontological Institute, University of Tübigen). A section indicating palynological sampling from Keuper through Kimmeridgian levels (1058.6-2327.4 m) is alongside with the material.

3.) Bohrung Linden 1, bei Thun, CH.

Collection of wash-samples (Spülproben) from well Linden 1 close to Thun (Linden 1 = Thun 1).

Of these 11 samples in small plastic bags come from the Aquitanian from the tectonically thrusted Molasse (aufgeschobene Molasse). The material was palynologically investigated (unpublished) by Wolfgang Wille (Mössingen; Geological-Paleontological Institute, University of Tübigen). Sample bags bear the numbers (=depth in meters ?) 3188, 3199, 3208, 3295, 3324.70, 3231, 3350.80, 3377.50, 3404.30, 3417.50, 3424.10, and 3448.60.

Another set of 20 wash-samples (in plastic bags) come from the depth range between 5110-5180m and most probably cover Dogger sandstone.

The drilling Linden 1 was one of several exploration wells for petroleum/gas in the Swiss Molasse. For geographic positions of these drilling sites see the article of Python, C., Berger, J.P., and Plancherel, R. (1998). Note explicative. Feuille 1185 Fribourg, Geologischer Atlas der Schweiz, 1:25000, pp. 41-53. (extracted pages are deposited with the material).

6.) Erdgasbohrung Entlebuch 1 (=Finsterwald)

Collection of 146 wash samples (Spülproben) in plastic bags from drill-site Entlebuch-1 (=Erdgas Bohrung Finsterwald). Samples range from depths from 4750m through 5156m. Drilling was done by BEB (Firma Brigitta Elverat, Hannover; BEB was a former part of Shell and Esso, lo longer existing). For more information see Vollmayr, T. and Wendt, A. (1987). Die Erdgasbohrung Entlebuch 1. Bulletin der Vereinigung Schweizerischer Petroleum-Geologen und Ingenieure, vol. 53 (125):67-79.

This is one of the few drill-sites, where permo-carboniferous sediments were hit in the southern part of the Swiss Molasse basin (below 5082m), therefore very valuable ! There exists an unpublished report (oral communication with H.-P. Luterbacher).

Few wash samples from drill-site Herdern (4 samples between 1878 and 1884m), and from drill-site Pfaffnau 1 (4 samples between 1665m and 1715m) are also with the materials.

Remark:
Wolfgang Wille (in Mössingen, Geol.-Paläontologisches Institut Tübingen) investigated palynomorphs from this drill-site. The liquid palynomorph samples were disposed because of strong corrosion of glass vials (HF-preparations !) and leakage of material.

Mid Paleocene from Tarkhankut Peninsula, NW Crimea: Two trays with picked specimens in Fema-cells, mostly from the mid Paleocene. These are samples from drilling wells, that Luterbacher obtained in 1963 from V.G. Morozova (Geol. Institute of the Academy of Sciences in in Moscow, Leg. Krasheninnikov 1963). These are splits from the original materials to Morozova, V.G. (1961). Planktonic foraminifera from the Danian-Montian of the southern Soviet Union. Akad. Nauk SSSR Paleont.

Collection of specimens determined by E.K. Shutskaya (Moscow 1962): One tray with foraminiferal topotypes from the Paleogene (22 Fema-cells) determined by E.K. Shutskaya.

Collection "Various species from USSR": One tray (22 Fema-cells) with Paleogene planktonic foraminifers from W-Turkmenia, the Precaucasus (Kheu river and Nalchik), and from the Tarkhankut peninsula (NW Crimea) determined by E.K. Shutskaya (Moscow).

One box "CCCP residues" containing washed residues from classic N-Caucasus Paleogene sections (labels in Russian, legata mainly from V.A. Krasheninnikov and Irina Dolitzkaya). For zonal designations see the report of Luterbacher, H. (1968).

Collection "Paleogene zonal assemblages of type sections in N-Precaucasus (Nalchik, Kheu-river), and W-Turkmenia": Two trays (33 slides) with picked paleogene foraminiferal assemblages from the Kuban River and the Kheu-River. The section of Bakhtchissaray (Crimea) represents the stratotype section for the southern Russian Paleogene. It ranges from Upper Cretaceous through Lower Miocene and comprises both planktonic and larger foraminifera thus allowing correlation of larger benthic foraminiferal zones with planktic foraminiferal zones (see also the materials from the 12th European Micropaleontological Colloquium 1971 in the Crimea and Moldavia collected by Hans Schaub, the collection to Kapellos (1973), and of Lukas Hottinger from Bakhtchissaray). In contrast, the mentioned collections from Tscherkessk along the Kuban River (=Para-Stratotype section) and the Kheu-River represent pelagic assemblages from a more deep-water facies without nummulites. The Kheu-section in the northern Caucasus is a key section for the Paleocene-Eocene transition and PETM in the northeastern Peri-Tethys area, see for example, Shcherbinina et al. (2016). The above collections are mainly historically important legates from E.K. Shutskaya (1962), Kuban river, and from Krasheninnikov (1962), Tcherkessk, with some material also from the Bakhtchissaray area. Three extra boxes contain 37 washed residues in plastic bags from the Paleogene of the Kheu-river section and from Nalchik (N-Caucasus). See the report of Luterbacher, H. (1968).

10.) Study material to Butt, A. (1982, 1984) ?
About Arif Butt.

Collection of picked foraminifera in Fema-cells (37 trays), probably related to the studies of Butt, A. (1982). Micropaleontological bathymetry of the Cretaceous of western Morocco. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, vol. 37, pp. 235-275. and to Butt, A., Stets, J. and Wurster, J. (1984). Micropaleontological and sedimentological aspects of High Atlas Cretaceous onshore sediments (Atlas-Gulf, Morocco). Init. Rep. DSDP 79: 923-934 (Printout of articles with collection).

Unfortunately, no information at all about the provenance of these samples was given so far when donated. Sample names do not follow DSDP/ODP code, and the labels on the slides do not appear in the above mentioned publication (see sample list Butt_1982.pdf). However, based on the contents of Fema-cells (benthic foraminifera, ostracods, Cretaceous planktic foraminifera and other microfossils), labelling on some cells like Favusella (Hedbergella) washitensis (Trays # 14, 18), indicated ages like upper Aptian, or Albian/Cenomanian (Trays 16, 18), and the location name Imi Mekki [=Imi Mikki] on a single sample on Tray #8), it is probable, that the materials were for study and comparison reasons to Butt, A. (1982), and may come from off-shore wells or land-sections in western Morocco, between Agadir and Cape Rhir, and near Essaouira. Samples "Aa" are possibly related to Berriasian-Albian intervals of the Askouti-Section, see the biostratigraphy chapter p. 927 ff. in Butt, A., Stets, J. and Wurster, J. (1984). Samples beginning with 76 were probably from "Mission 76", an expedition of the former Tübingen-group together with the service géologique marrocain into the Tarfaya Basin during 1976.
