Notes: Preservation: G = good, M = moderate, P = poor. Abundance: A = abundant, C = common, F = few, R = rare, B = barren. Time constraints in shipboard observation of samples prevented us from recording all species observed in some samples between biostratigraphic datums. Hence, gaps in the ranges of some species should not be assumed to represent genuine absence of the species.
