Goodman, D. K., and Ford, L. N., Jr. 1983. Preliminary dinoflagellate biostratigraphy for the middle Eocene to lower Oligocene from the southwest Atlantic Ocean. Init. Rep. Deep Sea Drill. Proj., 71: 859-877 Abstract: A preliminary examination of Paleogene dinoflagellate cysts from core holes drilled on DSDP Leg 71, Falkland Plateau, indicates that dinoflagellates may be useful for recognizing the Eocene/Oligocene boundary in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. In addition, data from Hole 511 provide evidence for establishing tentative limits to the age of type material for several dinoflagellate taxa described by Wilson (1967) from erratics at McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Illustrations and brief comments about morphology or taxonomic relationships are presented for all taxa discussed in this chapter, including informal and undescribed forms.
