Sommario:
- From 12 radiolarian-rich claystone samples of the DSDP-Leg 25, Site 249, situated in the western Indian Ocean southwest of Madagascar 4 species of agglutinated and 38 species of calcareous benthonic foraminifera are described, 13 of them in open nomenclature. As a lot of Valanginian species and Gavelinella barremiana occur in the foraminiferal faunas described here a Valanginian-Hauterivian age is assigned to them. These microfaunas investigated here yield some index species characteristic in the Lower Cretaceous deposits of Northern Germany and also from the near-by Madagascar. Nodosariids dominate in a striking way with 36 species, especially of Astacolus, Citharina, Lenticulina, Lingulina, Marginulinopsis, Nodosaria, Saracenaria, and Vaginulina. Important Neocomian species well-known from other DSDP sites, namely Praedorothia ouachensis (SIGAL) and planktonic foraminifers, are missing. The microfaunas of Site 249 have to be derived from shelf areas.
