In the untreated control slides, organic matter at moderate levels obscured individual specimens or caused cohesion of nannofossils with background material, such as clays and opaque minerals. While samples with >7% background organic matter require two iterations of the pretreatment procedure (Shamrock et al., 2015), samples with average background values up to 3% were sufficiently treated with one exposure to the primary oxidizing reagent (NaClO). Pretreated samples showed notable increases in both relative abundance and species richness. In addition, we examined the potential loss of nannofossil specimens while decanting the supernatant after centrifuging. Despite some negligible loss in nannofossil specimens, the enriched abundance and diversity of the data justifies this enhanced processing procedure.","PeriodicalId":186533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nannoplankton Research","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132519669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research presented herein provides a framework for Oligocene to Middle Pliocene Sphenolithus, where gradations between individual taxa and their stratigraphic ranges are presented. Integration of schemes from BP, Amoco and Arco Vastar, to form a single composite Neogene calcareous nannofossil framework for the Gulf of Mexico basin, began around the turn of the century with focus on refining taxonomic concepts to solve stratigraphic discrepancies between the heritage schemes. Further study and bioevent calibration was accomplished through analyses of deep-water wells in the Gulf of Mexico along with research grounding the integrated framework to the “astronomical clock” of ODP Leg 154 back into the middle Early Oligocene at an average sample resolution of 21 kyr. Forty-two species are considered herein, in addition to the morphologically-similar Ilselithina fusa. Thirteen new species are introduced. Sphenolithus peartiae and Sphenolithus distentus are emended. Clarification of taxonomic concepts by the use of morphologic groups is supplemented with identification tables, drawings, and light photomicrographs. Iterative processes, in terms of size, are stressed.","PeriodicalId":186533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nannoplankton Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128280178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the Macondo Well blowout in 2010, analyses were carried out on samples taken during the subsequent three years. The photic zone was sampled at 28 sites, along four transects across the continental shelf and slope, in order to observe ecological patterns in the calcareous nannoplankton assemblages. The number of observed species increased from station to station, moving from shallow continental shelf waters into deep water. This was related to a two-layered water configuration, observed during August to November. In moving into the deeper waters, the salinity, temperature and amount of light penetration began to change, which was useful for tracing the thermocline and distinguishing the two layers. Once the depth exceeded 75m, a new assemblage of deeper photic-zone dwellers could be observed. Therefore, two separate nannoplankton assemblages were distinguished, an upper one from the mixed layer, from the surface to 75m depth, and a lower one below the thermocline, from 75m to the lower limits of the photic zone, which for the Gulf of Mexico is 200m. A comparison of site biodiversity and biomass across the stations during the study period also showed an increase in both cell density and number of species observed for each successive year sampled. The lowest cells/L and species diversity were observed in 2011, with increasing numbers in 2012, and the highest recorded in 2013.","PeriodicalId":186533,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nannoplankton Research","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131927099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
