摘要
A fully comprehensive work comprising the systematics of benthic and planktonic foraminifera is attempted for the first time from the continental shelf-slope region between Chennai and Cuddalore on the east coast of India. A total of 45 surface sediment samples and 75 subsamples from three gravity cores obtained from various depths (10-300m) were analysed to identify 286 foraminiferal species. Thus, this paper examines the taxonomic description of 262 benthic foraminifera in 117 genera and 24 planktonic foraminifera in 13 genera illustrated by SEM images.
