Calcareous nannofossils from the uppermost Oxfordian and lowermost Kimmeridgian of Staffin Bay, Isle of Skye, northern Scotland

Abstract

Twenty six samples from the sections at Flodigarry and Digg at Staffin Bay, Isle of Skye, northern Scotland, spanning the stratigraphical interval from the uppermost Oxfordian to the lowermost Kimmeridgian were examined for their calcareous nannofossil content. The study revealed the presence of an assemblage typical of the nannofossil zone NJ15 of the northern European zonation.
