Journal Title: Journal of Geography, Environment and Earth Science International - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The aim of the study is to identify and record the taxonomic notes on species of Genus Globigerinoides from the study area located in Kafe field of the offshore western Niger Delta area of Nigeria. 550 ditch cuttings samples were retrieved at 18.29 metres intervals from the five wells studied (Kafe-1, Kafe-2, Kafe-4, Kafe-5 and Kafe-6). The standard micropaleontological preparation technique for foraminiferal samples was employed. The foraminiferal contents were identified under binocular microscope and recorded. The species of the Genus Globigerinoides identified are Globigerinoides obliquus BOLLI, Globigerinoides extremus BOLLI and BERMUDEZ, Globigerinoides quadrilobatus D’ORBIGNY, Globigerinoides subquadrilobatus (BRÖNNIMANN), Globigerinoides trilobus REUSS and Globigerinoides sacculifer BRADY and their taxonomic notes were documented accordingly.
