FIGURE 12 in Quaternary foraminifera and mollusc assemblages on the southwestern African shelf

FIGURE 12. Distribution maps of benthic foraminifera occurring in Namibian and western South African outer shelf (blue shading = Lowry, 1987; black dots = Compton et al., 2002, 2004 and this study), lower to middle upper Quaternary sediments (green-yellow dots = McMillan, 1987) and inner shelf surface grab sediments (red-yellow dots = Schmidt-Sinns, 2008). Samples from McMillan (1987), Compton et al. (2002, 2004) and this study represent Pleistocene-aged foraminifera and samples from Lowry (1987) and Schmidt-Sinns (2008) are from surface grab sediments.
