Costa, L.I. and Downie, C. (1976); The distribution of the dinoflagellate Wetzeliella in the Palaeogene of north-western Europe. Palaeontology 9, part 4, pp. 591-614 Annotated abstract: A very similar succession of Wetzeliella species in England, Belgium and north Germany permits the establishment of eight Wetzeliella zones, ranging from late Upper Palaeocene to Oligocene. Ranges of Wetzeliella species in NW Europe are given in terms of dinoflagellate zones and local lithostratigraphy or chronostratigraphy. Correlation based on Wetzeliella in NW Europe is in agreement with that founded on calcareous nannoplankton. Comparison of NW European dinoflagellate zones with zones from the southern PyrÚnÚes and the Alpine Flysch (E France) is given in terms of nannoplankton zones.
