Mesozoic micropalaeontology of exploration well Elf 55/30–1 from the Fasnet Basin, offshore southwest Ireland
Abstract. The geology, biostratigraphy and palaeoecology of exploration well Elf 55/30–1 in the Fastnet Basin are summarised. The biostratigraphical and ecological distribution of the foraminifera and Ostracoda from the late Triassic, the Lower Jurassic and the Lower Cretaceous are reviewed with reference to microfaunas elsewhere in Europe. Selected microfossil taxa are illustrated.
