Abstract
The Sirt Basin of Libya hosts significant hydrocarbon reservoirs in Paleocene shallow-marine carbonates (Upper Sabil Formation) with abundant larger benthic foraminifera. Benthic foraminifera proved to be an essential biostratigraphic tool for precise biostratigraphic dating of these carbonate platform/ramp deposits. A detailed systematic description of the Middle to Late Paleocene larger benthic foraminifera from the Sirt Basin is presented, which refines the biostratigraphic age of the Paleogene shallow-marine carbonates. Eight taxa are identified at a species level. Among them, Ranikothalia solimani is the most important taxon for the correlation of the Upper Sabil Formation. The taxa Miscellanea yvettae, Miscellanites primitivus, and Glomalveolina primaeva with co-occurrence of orthophragminid foraminifera constrain the age of the Upper Sabil Formation as Middle to Late Paleocene (Selandian-Early Thanetian).
期刊介绍：
La Revue de micropaléontologie publie 4 fois par an des articles de intérêt international, consacrés à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie. Les textes, en anglais ou en français, sont des articles originaux, des résultats de recherche, des synthèses et mises au point, des comptes rendus de réunions scientifiques et des analyses de ouvrages. La revue se veut résolument ouverte à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie en accueillant des travaux traitant de la systématique des microfossiles (et de leurs équivalents actuels), des bactéries aux microrestes de vertébrés, et de toutes leurs applications en sciences biologiques et géologiques.
