(Table 2) Stratigraphic distribution of planktonic foraminifera from the middle Miocene to upper Miocene in ODP Hole 134-832B@en

Species abundance: A = abundant (>10 specimens), C = common (6-10 specimens), F = few (3-5 specimens), R = rare (1-2 specimens), - = absent. Preservation: G = good, for specimens where all morphological features are distinct identifiable, M = moderate, for specimens where some features are difficult to recognize because of preservation, and P = poor, for specimens that are difficult to identify because of their state of preservation.
