摘要
Planktonic microfossils have played an enormously important role in modem earth science,notably including industrial hydrocarbon exploration and academic Deep Sea Drilling,providing essential data for age models and rich suites of palaeoceanographic data.Conversely this broad application has resulted in the development of detailed knowledge of planktonic microfossils and in stimulating study of them.
