文摘
Planktic foraminifera E14, E15, E16, O1 Zones are identified across the E/O boundary. The section is correlated with others in Tanzania, Spain and the E/O GSSP in Italy. Turborotalids and hantkeninids underwent a rapid mass extinction across the E/O. The extinction event at the E-O transition is recorded in a very expanded interval. The Tunisian section is a very suitable auxiliary section for the E/O boundary.
