Description 425-429
A total of 482 Benthic
foraminifera belonging to 23 species have been identified in the sediment
samples of Gosthani estuary. The Ammonia
beccarii, Anomalina sp.,
Asterorotalia dentata, Ammonia tepida, Quinquloculina
seminulum, Asterorotalia trispinosa, and Elphidium crispum are abundant. Anomalina sp., represent the shelf environment and it is a good
indication of flooding or marine water incursion into the estuary. Q-mode
cluster analysis revealed that the foraminifera could be grouped into 6
clusters. Occurrence and distribution of foraminiferal assemblages studied in
the Gosthani estuary sediments, infers that these sediments were deposited in
marine environment.
