Dimensions (mm) length height 6017 0,83 0,46 6018 0,60 0,34 Age and distribution C. bensoni occurs in most of the samples from DSDP sites 327 and 330 on the Falkland Plateau, and ranges over the entire section covered by the core ma- terial, early to middle Albian in 330, and early to late Albian in 327. It is a relatively abundant species (1-15%, average 7% in 330, and 5-23%, average 14% in 327). Cytherella sp. Fig. 5C Remarks Poorly preserved specimens of an indeterminate species of Cytherella, which has a rounded, inflated posterior area and a compressed anterior area with an incipient AM rim. The specimen illustrated in Figure 5C has a damaged DM, but is otherwise one of the best specimens Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
