This book provides a representative assessment of the state of the
art of research on Paleogene rotaliid larger foraminifera. It gives
an overview of the current understanding of systematics of this
group and, in particular, of its biostratigraphic importance and
palaeobiogeography. The senior author of the work, late Professor
Hottinger, a leading scientist in the field, both from a systematic
and applied side, presents in this book his most recent advances.
The foraminiferal family Rotaliidae is a traditional group used
frequently which plays an important role for petroleum exploration
in the biostratigraphy and palaeobiogeography of Paleogene shallow
water deposits in the Middle East. This book aims to introduce
rotaliid representatives as index fossils that can be recognized in
random thin-sections of cemented rocks. The book is generously
illustrated with an unprecedented degree of accuracy. The selection
of taxa is restricted to forms having lived in the Paleocene and
the Eocene, where their biostratigraphic significance is much
higher than during later epochs. However, some additional rotaliid
taxa, from the Late Cretaceous or that do not belong to the family
Rotaliidae sensu stricto, are included in this book in order to
demonstrate particular roots of rotaliid phylogenetic lineages in
the previous community maturation cycle or to delimit the taxon
Rotaliidae with more precision. This book can be considered as a
reference in the field.
