10.10	MC12	71.26	Abundant small foraminifera are present, including Globorotalia or Paragloborotalia (Acrostoma/Partimlabiata), Angulisuturalis, Ciperoensis, and Catapsydrax. The assemblage appears to be altered (no Orbulina). Few ostracods are present, including Djafarovi and Candona, with no molts, and some juvenile Cyprideis.	142	32	0	0	0	0	2		0	0	0	2	0	8		13	0	0	9	3		12	7	6	0	16	64	16	3	8	2	3.6	63.766488910	0.00	0.00	0.00	0.00		1.41	0.00	0.00	0.00	1.41	0.00	5.63		9.15	0.00	0.00	6.34	2.11	8.45	4.93		2.82
10.00	MC11	113.09	the foraminifera are very rare, and there are many fragments (but also some juvenile valves and intact common valves), while the ostracods are common but highly fragmented.

9.50	MC9	76.88	The foraminifera are mostly small and almost exclusively planktonic, with some P. Acrostoma, Semivera or Continuosa, in addition to globigerinids, but few Orbulina.
9.30	MC8	66.95	The ostracods are relatively common and diverse, but mostly broken. The foraminifera are rare, with many small ones, but some larger ones such as G. bulloides and N. Costaensis dx. No Orbulina is present.
9.20	MC7	72.92	The ostracods are rare, including Cyprideis, Caspiocypris, Euxinocythere, and Djafarovi (not very numerous), with no juvenile valves and some broken ones.
9.10	MC6	78.40	The sediment is white and non-disintegrated with gray dots, indicating barrenness.
9.00	MC5	73.81	The sediment is white and non-disintegrated with gray dots, indicating barrenness. Sediment >125 �m is also non-disintegrated and white with gray dots, indicating the absence of any present material.
8.60	MC4
8.00	MC3	82.98	Similar to MC1, paragloborotalia is rare due to the small size of the foramiferans, and there is an absence of Orbulina. P. birnagae and acrostoma are present, while ostracods are rare and forams are fairly abundant.
7.70	MC2	132.14	There is an abundance of broken ostracods, with the exception of Djafarovi, which is often articulated and intact. Common foramiferans are predominantly planktonic, small in size, and more difficult to observe for signs of alteration because paragloborotalia are rare. Some acrostoma are present, but there is no indication of Orbulina.
7.30	MC1	88.89	Abundant foraminifera, many filled with sulfides/oxides, smaller than 2.5, always with reworking, ciperoensis, semivera/acrostoma, globorotalia also with a keel
6.90	MC2.5	148.67	"very abundant foraminifera, with very common Paragloborotalia, Mayeri, Semivera, Acrostoma, Pseudokugleri?; Catapsydrax dissimilis. Lower Miocene reworking. Rare broken ostracods. Probable turbidity current."
4.60	MC2.4	68.27	In this sample, the residue is scarce, and it contains mostly broken smooth ostracods, along with some Djafarovi specimens. Planktonic foraminifera are rare to common and include many Globorotalia and Paragloborotalia, with some showing partial labiate/acrostome features, belonging to the Sutare-Miotumida group. A few green granules and sulfides are also present.
2.70	MC2.3	88.18	In the sample, green mineral (possibly glauconite) is common and present as fragments. Planktonic foraminifera are also common, but mostly small and moderately fragmented, with few rare ostracods (djafarovi and some smooth ones) that are mostly broken. Four benthic foraminifera (Melonis, B. aculeata, Valvulineria? Cibicides pseudoungerianus?) were identified, as well as some larger planktonic forms such as Orbulina, Globoturborotalita, and Globigerinoides, which are quite rare. A few Globorotalia were also observed (such as suterae, miotumida, and scitula), which have a slightly grayer shell than the others.
1.10	Mc2.2	66.78	"Undisintegrated sediment; common ostracods, smooth ones are mostly broken, djafarovi, whole, all disarticulated; only rare planktonic foraminifera; picking of N. acostaensis dx; Catapsydrax, Paragloborotalia (siakensis?), plus another one undeterminated"
