| Description |
The organic carbon/matter distribution pattern in the shallow restricted marine environment of the Gulf indicates very low values but it is found to rise as the particle size of the sediment decreases; however it appears to be erratic. The foraminiferal number (TFN) and the species diversity (TSN) seem to fluctuate with the variation in the sediment pattern. It is highest in the fine clays chiefly with embryonic or meiofaunal in size, thin-walled and hyaline, whereas it is large, thick-walled, and also porcellaneous in silts and sands. The agglutinated species being uncommon, the planktonic forms are characteristically rare. The relationship between organic carbon content, the substrate, and the number of foreminifers is not consistent at all stations, since organic carbon percentages are very low to monitor the sharp changes
