ABSTRACT
The Pleistocene to Holocene planktonic foraminifera of Site
147 in the Cariaco Basin, off the north coast of eastern
Venezuela, were investigated for their ecologic significance.
Characteristic species and their frequency, are plotted and the
results compared with curves by Emiliani (1966) and Ericson and
Wollin (1968). Several warm- and cold-water intervals are
distinguished. Site 147 falls into the upper part of the
Globorotalia truncatulinoides truncatulinoides Zone (approxi-
mately 320,000 years to Recent) and comprises from bottom to
top the Pleistocene Globorotalia hessi (part only), Globigerina
calida calida, Globigerina bermudezi and the Holocene Globoro-
talia fimbriata subzones. This compares with zones V to Z of
Ericson and Wollin (1968).
Fifty-nine planktonic foraminiferal species and subspecies
were distinguished, of which four are described as new. They are
Globigerina clarkei n. sp., Globigerina megastoma cariacoensis n.
ssp., Hastigerinella riedeli n. sp., and Globorotalia bermudezi n.
sp. Neogloboquadrina blowi is introduced as a new name for
Globigerina subcretacea Chapman. Variability and details of wall
structures of the well-preserved planktonic foraminifera are
illustrated by scanning electron micrographs.
