Important sample and type localities of foraminifera in Trinidad, B.W.I.

Overview of Late Albian to Early Eocene sample localities (large open and filled circles) and Late Eocene to Middle Miocene type localities of planktic foraminiferal zones (red points). Combined from Figure 13 and Figure 48 shown in Bolli, Beckmann and Saunders (1994). For precise descriptions of localities consult the references given in this publication. Many of the samples or materials from the indicated cores are deposited in the stratigraphic collection of Trinidad from Hans G. Kugler at the NMB or other collections held at the Natural History Museum in Basel.
