An Analysis of the Microfauna and Microflora of The AN ANALYSIS OF THE MICROFAUNA AND MICROFLORA OF THE UPPER EOCENE OF THE HAMPSHIRE BASIN By Martin Simeon Norvick Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of London. Abstract The succession of the Upper Bracklesham and Barton beds of Hampshire i! discussed in a lithostratigraphic context. Compilations from surface sections and borehole data enable lithological correlations to be made, based on the cyclic pattern of lithofacies. The areal distribution and variations in thickness of lithological units are elucidated and the local palaeogeography is reconstructed. Stratigraphic usage of planktonic and larger Foraminiferida in the North West European Upper Eocene is reviewed,, A detailed study of the Nummulites shows the presence of seven morphological units and their distribution as local stratigraphic markers is evaluated. The total microfauna and microflora of the Barton Beds from Christchurch Bay and Alum Bay is examined quantitatively and the percentage distributions of Foraminiferida, Ostracoda and ivIollusca are presented graphically. In addition the occurrence of Dinoflagellat,, and Tasmanitid cysts, Angiosperm seeds, Echinoderm, Sponge, Bryozoan, Annelid and Vertebrate remains are studied qualitatively. The variatic..1 in distribution of species and larger units is used to provide a biofac' - zonation of the Barton Beds. Two cycles of sedimentation are recognised and and the two sections are compared. The total fauna and flora is classified into 459 indigenous taxonomic and organ groups. Meroplankton and Holothuroid ossicles are recorded for the first time from the Barton Beds and !!3 species are described and illustrated. 99 species of Foraminiferida, 34 of Ostracoda, 168 species and groups of Mollusca and 28 species of smaller phyla are also described and the majority figured. Finally 26 Echinoderm and 61 Vertebrate organ groups are recorded° ********** LIST OF CONTENTS ?age. Abstract .4r 6646 2.

The Problem This project was originally devised to test the feasinnt7 o a quantitative total m4crofaunal and m4crofloral study, to apply it to problems of-palaeoecology'and stratigraphy, and to devise new methods of correlation. The Barton Beds and Headon Beds of Hampshire were initially chosen to provide a,model for such a study but the inclusion of the latter division had to be abandoned in view of the practically doubled weight of taxonomic work-involved. -The revised thesis falls along-two main lines of research, namely the total faunal and-the stratigraphical aspects of the Upper Eocene. Quantita- tivemicrofaunal and microfaunal investigation is concentrated on the marine -parts of- the Barton. Beds cycle of sedimentation (see Fig.2). All the evid- ence-from dry washed residues-is dealt with-but palynological aspects had to be curtailed awing to-the lack of time. This investigation is-associated with-biofacies and palaeoecological interpretations (Section 3). Any such-work demands a detailed examination of the stratigraphy. The upper - part - of the Eocene (see Fig.2) is studiedin.a lithostratigraphical context. "Classical" biostratigraphy (i.e. use of evolving lineages for zonation.and correlation) is applied in the case of one group of fossils, namely the Nummulites (Section 2). 1:1:2 Samples, Depositories and Taxonomy Two main sections were sampled at close intervals for the quantitative aspects-of the project, namely Christchurch.Bay (129 samples) and Alum Bay (113 samples). In addition 40 samples from other English Palaeogene localities (London Clay to. Middle Oligocene) and 5 samples from the French .Paris Basin localities were examined for comparative taxonomic purposes* All are assigned Imperial College Micropalaeontology sample numbers in the series 6481-7199 and residues are deposited in. the Micropalaeontology Laboratory, Imperial College of Science and Technology, London, S.W.7.

This demanded a less exhaustive treatment of certain groups (particularly Mollusca and Ostracoda) than would have been preferred, especially as some groups had to be studied from first principles (Dinoflagellates, Ostracoda) and some required a new approach (Echinoderms, Vertebrate teeth). No new names have been proposed in view of this less rigorous application and undescribed or unidentifiable units are lefi: as numbers.

The "UPPER EOCENE, C.om.p~'~F/n~ t~f BARTON ~nd UPPER BAGSHOT Fox,Ions. By J. S~ARXIE GARDSmZ, Esq., F.G.S., F.L.S., HE,mr KE~P~a, Esq., and H. W. MercaTor, Esq., F.G.S. (Read March 28, 1888.) THE introduction of the Oligocene stage into our classification has necessitated a partial revision of the grouping of our older British Tertiaries. Whether this introduction of a new primary division into the Tertiary system was necessary or expedient may still be ques- tioned ; but it has been generally adopted and is, for the time being, established. The division does not coincide in England with a marked change in either fauna or flora, though the series seems nevertheless tolerably complete and well developed; its limits, however widely stretched~ show that the Oligocene stage compares neither with the Eocene nor the Miocene in importance. Opinions have differed as to where the line of division should be drawn; whether this should be as low down as the top of the Barton Beds or at the base of the Headou Beds, or even higher. For our part, we think it desirable to uphold the view which places the demarcation between the top of the Bagshot Sands of Alum Bay and the base of the Lower Headon Series, though it is perfectly ob- vious that any such line in the midst of our series must be a purely artificial one.

    Bulletin of the Mizunami Fossil Museum, no. 38 (2012), p. 33–51, 4 pls., 2 figs., 2 tables. 33 © 202, Mizunami Fossil Museum A review of the decapod crustaceans from the Tertiary of the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, U. K, with description of three new species W. J. Quayle* and J. S. H. Collins** * 4, Argyll Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight, Hampsire, England<[email protected]> ** 8, Shaws Cottages, Perry Rise, London, SE23 2QN, and The Natural History Museum, London, SW7 5BD, England Abstract To the known decapod crustaceans of the Tertiary deposits of the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, the Early Eocene species, Basinotopus lamarkii (Desmarest) and Dromilites bucklandi Bell are introduced from the mainland, as are Glyphithyreus wetherelli (Bell), Rhachiosoma bispinosum Woodward, Coeloma (Litoricola) dentate (Woodward), Xanthilites bowerbanki Bell, and Xanthopsis unispinosa (M'Coy), the stratigrahic range of which has been extended to the London Clay on the Island. The development of an anomaly concerning Zanthopsis unispinosa, also present, if not peculiar to the island, is well established. A carapace of Harpactocarcinus sp. from this horizon is the first British record for the genus. Late Eocene species new to the island are Goniocypoda quaylei Crane, Orthakrolophus depressus? (Quayle and Collins) and Typilobus belli Quayle and Collins. Three new genera and species are described from the Late Eocene Headon Hill Formation; a callianassid, Vecticallichirus abditus; a goneplacid, Gonioplacoides minuta, and a hexapodid, Headonipus tuberculosus. New, superior material of the Late Eocene species, Typilobus obscurus Quayle and Collins, from the type locality, Colwell Bay necessitates a new description. A table of all known Tertiary species of decapod crustaceans from the Isle of Wight is appended.

    Port of Southampton Master Plan 2009-2030 Aerial photograph of the Port of Southampton ABP Port of Southampton Master Plan 2009-2030 • Foreword Foreword The Port of Southampton is the UK’s premier international gateway port. It connects trading nations across the world and helps the UK to benefit from the global economy. In 2007, we handled more cargo than ever before. In 2008, the Port broke another record with almost one million cruise passengers passing through the Port. It is, therefore, no surprise that the Port is recognised as one of very few UK international gateways whose commercial growth is critical to regional and national economic success. Doug Morrison Port Director, ABP Southampton Success for the Port is also success for Southampton and the community in the surrounding region. It is estimated that the Port supports around 10% of the City’s workforce directly and indirectly. We are also at the heart of the Solent maritime sector which is estimated to support up to economic conditions of 2009 in our forecasting as well as 77,000 jobs and be worth a massive £5.5 billion. identifying opportunities for the Port to contribute to a sustainable, low carbon economy. Our predecessors made far-sighted decisions to grow, consolidate and expand the Port. At the turn of the 20th When preparing the plan we have borne in mind three century they extended the Eastern Docks; in the 1920s and essentials: 30s they planned and built the Western Docks, and in the • the need to continue to attract investment and create 1960s they built one of the UK’s first container terminals.

  • Pink Floyd, Revisited: Waters Doesn’T Disappoint by Christopher John Treacy, Boston Herald | September 9, 2006
    9 Sep 2006 - Concert Review Boston Herald - Roger Waters Band Tweeter Center, Boston, MA, USA (8-Sep-06) Pink Floyd, revisited: Waters doesn’t disappoint By Christopher John Treacy, Boston Herald | September 9, 2006 No gimmicky light show or practiced cover band can match the majesty of seeing Roger Waters recreate his visionary work with Pink Floyd. And even though he’s currently touring under the guise of performing the legendary ‘Dark Side of The Moon’ that’s literally only the half of it. ‘Dark Side’ was originally performed as Act 2 of a Floyd show - exactly how Waters did it last night before a capacity crowd for the first of two gigs at Mansfield’s Tweeter Center. For all the anticipation surrounding Act 2, the first set was a much more compelling display. That’s not to knock Floyd’s 1973 masterpiece, which the musically muscled 11-piece band did commendable justice to. But hearing him lead his troops through crisp renditions of ‘Have a Cigar,’ ‘Sheep’ - during which an inflatable pink pig circled the venue – ‘Wish You Were Here,’ the opener ‘In the Flesh’ and ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5),’ complete with multiple images of the late Syd Barrett flashing across the video screen, was infinitely more satisfying. During ‘Mother,’ when posing the question, ‘Should I trust the government?’ the crowd roared, but Waters disapprovingly shook his head as if to say, ‘You’ve missed the point.’ But there was no misinterpreting his messages of despair and disillusionment during the politically charged power-suite of ‘Southampton Dock,’ ‘The Fletcher Memorial Home’ and ‘Perfect Sense,’ the latter of which likens war to an arena sporting event.
