welcome in the team of the Paleocene-Eocene Planktonic foraminifera which is guided by William Berggren. If you have a question please send it. I hope you give a look to our combined work on the planktonic foraminifera of the GSSP of the P/E boundary at Dababiya, Egypt ( Ouda, Kh., and Aubry, M.-P., Eds., 2003. The upper Paleocene-lower Eocene of the Upper Nile Valley. Part 1: Stratigraphy. Micropaleontology, 49 (1):212 p. ;Ouda, Kh., Berggren, W. A. and Abdel Sabour, A., 2013. Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Paleocene/Eocene boundary interval in the Dababiya Quarry Corehole, Dababiya, Upper Nile Valley, Egypt. Stratigraphy, vol. 9, nos 3–4, plate 1, text-figures 1–5, table 1, pp. 213–227, 2012 (2013). I am now preparing a manuscript on a new globanomalid excursion planktonic form from Darb Gaga, west Esna, upper Egypt). Best regards.
In Mid 1990's with H. Kozlu we had found out that the so called Silurian basal conglomerates in S Turkey actually correspond to Late Ordovician glacio-marine sediments (dropstones in G oncuoglu, M.C. 1997. Distribution of Lower Paleozoic units in the Alpine Terranes of Turkey: paleogeographic constraints. In: Göncüoğlu, M.C. and Derman, A.S.(Eds), Lower Paleozoic Evolution in northwest Gondwana, Turkish Assoc. Petrol. Geol., Spec. Publ.No:3, 13-24, Ankara.). Monod et al (2003) and Ghienne et al (2010) then performed field work on these and have described the details of the Hirnantian glaciation. The most recent information is given in Kozlu, H. & Ghienne, J. F. (2012) Ordovician. In: Goncuoglu, M.C.& Bozdogan, N (Eds.) Paleozoic of Eastern Taurides-Guidebook .
