Summary
Abstract: Foraminiferal abundance and oxygen isotope data from the Miocene Monte
Gibliscemi section, Sicily, Italy.

Bolboforma indicates a group of calcareous microfossils belonging to Protophyta

(Spiegler and Rogl, 1992. Bolboforma (Protophyta, incertae sedis) im Oligozan
und Miozan de Mediterran und der Zentralen Paratethys. Ann Naturhist. Mus.

N. 4 chambered type can be included in the morphological variability of N.
acostaensis (for more details about taxonomy, see Hilgen et al. 2000.
