Globorotalia bouregregensis, a new species of planktonic foraminifer from the latest Miocene–early Pliocene of the Rifian Seaway (northwest Morocco)

Abstract

Abstract. Globorotalia bouregregensis, n. sp., is described and documented from the latest Miocene-early Pliocene sequence of the Rifian Seaway, northwest Morocco. By its short stratigraphic distribution, persistence and distinctive morphologic features, the new taxon is well differentiated within the scituline assemblage.
