(Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1958-06-01) Smitter, Y. H.
Briefly set forth are the phylogenetic inter-relationship of the various species of the foraminiferal genus Epistomina occurring. in the upper Cretaceous of Southern Africa. The known stratigraphjc ranges of the forms as they occur in Southern Africa are presented.
Foraminifera from the Upper Cretaceous beds occurring near Itongazi River, Natal.
(Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1955) Smitter, Y. H.
A small collection of foraminifera is described from the Upper Cretaceous beds occurring near the Itongazi river, Natal. One of the described species is new. The age of the fauna is demonstrated as Maestrichtian by briefly comparing local forms to similar index forms occurringc in Europe and North America where definite age relationships have been established.
A foraminiferal fauna from the tertiary sediments of Southern Moçambique
(Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1955) Smitter, Y. H.
A group of foraminifera is recorded from beds in Southern Mocambique of probable Upper Miocene age. The species listed are briefly compared with similar forms found elsewhere in the world. Three new species and one new variety are described.
