| contents | A summary of calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy performed for Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) to Early Cretaceous (Hauterivian) cores of Site 765 (Cores 123-765C-58R to -55R) and Site 261 (Cores 27-261-33 to -27), Argo Abyssal Plain, off northwestern Australia is presented. Precise age determinations were limited by variable preservation and the exclusion of a number of marker species due to provincialism. However, the presence of species, such as, Stephanolithion bigotii bigotii, Watznaueria manivitae, Tubodiscus verenae, and Cruciellipsis cuvillieri results in a reasonably good degree of biostratigraphic control. Biogeographic interpretation of the nannofossil data suggests that the Argo Basin occupied a position transitional between the Tethyan and Austral nannofloral realms. A cooler water regime is suggested by the absence of thermophyllic Tethyan forms, such as Nannoconus, and the presence of taxa that display bipolar distribution, such as Crucibiscutum salebrosum. Two new species, Zeugrhabdotus cooperi and Cyclagelosphaera argoensis, and one new combination, Haqius ellipticus are described. |
