Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain foraminifera: Digitized and updated taxonomy of Thomas G Gibson’s census data
This foraminiferal census data was originally produced by USGS research Geologist Thomas G. Gibson in the 1960s through the early 2000s. The census data here documenst evidence of foraminifer populations found in sediment samples extracted from four cores from the Atlantic Coastal Plain and the Gulf Coastal Plain. These samples represent Pliocene, Middle Miocene and Paleocene-Eocene time intervals. Additionally in 2024 the taxonomy was updated to modern usage for convenient comparison to data produced in recent and ongoing research
