A GUIDE TO LATE ALBIAN-CENOMANIAN (CRETACEOUS) FORAMINIFERA FROM THE QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

R. Timothy Patterson, James W. Haggart, and Andrew P. Dalby

ABSTRACT

A systematic treatment of 57 species of Late Albian-Cenomanian (Cretaceous) foraminifera obtained from 267 samples collected from 20 localities throughout the Queen Charlotte Islands of British Columbia is presented to provide a reference aid for future researchers in the area. The benthic fauna is comprised of 35 agglutinated and 19 calcareous foraminiferal species. In addition three planktic foraminiferal species are recognized.
