Abstract

The distribution of calcareous, siliceous and organic-walled planktic microfossils has been investigated in surface sediments from the Nordic Seas, Planktic foraminifers, coccolithophores, radiolarians, diatoms and dinoflagellate cysts generally reflect major oceanographic domains in the distribution of sediment assemblages, The occurrence of fossilizable plankton in the water column and in sediments has been compared to describe processes which alter the composition of assemblages.
