High-resolution calcareous nannoplankton palaeoecology as a proxy for small-scale environmental changes in the Early Miocene

This study represents the first such high-resolution analysis performed on a marine succession of late Burdigalian age. It is also a first attempt to analyse outcrop data on such a high-resolution, sub-Milankovitch scale, with respect to calcareous nannoplankton in conjunction with geochemical and sedimentological data.
