Illustration and Taxonomy of Late Neogene Deep Sea Agglutinated Benthic Foraminifera from the Exmouth Plateau in the Eastern Indian Ocean

Virendra Bahadur Singh, Ajai Kumar Rai, Uday Bhan

Abstract


Agglutinated benthic foraminifera were investigated from two ODP Sites 762B and 763A located on the Exmouth Plateau off north west Australia in the eastern Indian Ocean over an interval of Late Miocene to Late Pleistocene. Sixteen species of agglutinated benthic foraminifera are recorded from 152 samples from these sites. The foraminifera are generally well preserved. All the recorded taxa described and illustrated herein belong to ten genera and five families.

*2016 Journal Impact Factor was established by dividing the number of articles published in 2014 and 2015 with the number of times they are cited in 2016 based on Google Scholar, Google Search and the Microsoft Academic Search. If ‘A’ is the total number of articles published in 2014 and 2015, and ‘B’ is the number of times these articles were cited in indexed publications during 2016 then, journal impact factor = A/B.
