Geological magazine : Vol. 90 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1953Summary: Abstract
It is considered that some fossils, e.g. Orbulina and Miogypsina, are good indicators that beds containing them are of post-Oligocene age, and that the ages of some beds in certain parts of the world require reconsideration; mention is made of successions in Morocco, Venezuela, and Peru. It is recommended that the use of the term “Aquitanian” be restricted to beds of basal Miocene age.
