Abstract:
Paleocene benthic and planktonic foraminifers occur throughout a long interval of the sedimentary succession cored at Site 605. A biostratigraphic zonation based on planktonic foraminifers is proposed for this Paleocene section. Zones identified are Subbotina pseudobulloides Zone, Morozovella trinidadensis Zone, M. uncinata Zone, M. pusilla pusilla Zone, Planorotalites pseudomenardii Zone, and M. velascoensis Zone. Fluctuations in the sedimentation rate occurred at Site 605. Rates of deposition were high during the M. pusilla pusilla and P. pseudomenardii zones, and a depositional hiatus may occur at the base of the M. velascoensis Zone. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of benthic foraminiferal assemblages suggests that the Paleocene sediments of Site 605 were deposited near the upper limit of Nuttallides truempyi, that is, approximately in the middle bathyal zone (600 m or more).
