Kjellström, G., 1973: Maastrichtian microplankton from the Höllviken Borehole no.1 in Scania, southern Sweden. Sveriges Geologiska Undersokning, Afh. och Upps. vol.67 pp.1-59 Abstract: The present study deals with Maastrichtian microplankton with organic-walled tests, obtained from a continuously cored well drilled at H÷llviken in South-Western Scania (Skane), Sweden. Fourty-one species are stratigraphically analyzed. Sixteen of these species are here reported for the first time as occurring in the Maastrichtian. Three species are proposed as new and one species is treated as a new variety: Deflandrea raijae n.sp., ?Scriniodinium irisae n.sp., ?Scriniodinium nilsii n.sp., and Deflandrea rectangularis var. samuelsonii n. An attempt is made to draw some palaeoclimatic conclusions from the data availahle.
