Distribution patterns of benthic foraminifera across the Ypresian-Lutetian Gorrondatxe section, Northern Spain: Response to sedimentary disturbance

We conclude that sedimentary disturbance and other related factors such as current activity, resuspension of sediments at the seafloor, and supply of organic matter (and its quality) played an important role in the distribution of benthic foraminifera in the Gorrondatxe section. The identification of allochthonous taxa emerges as an essential aspect of the study of environments with sedimentary disturbance.
