Ishman SE, Graham I, D'Ambrosio J. 1997. Modern Benthic Foraminifer Distributions in Biscayne Bay: Analogs for Historical Reconstructions. Open-File Report 97-34. U.S. Geological Survey. Reston, Virginia
"During August 1996, surficial sediment samples and water column data were collected from 23 sites within Biscayne Bay- the results presented here represent the initial report on benthic foraminiferal distributions in Biscayne Bay sediment samples." This document reports the distribution of foraminiferal distributions from sediment samples in Biscayne Bay, Florida. Includes descriptions of the three assemblages found with thier typical species composition and salinity tolerance. Some of the study sites were in Biscayne National Park. It also reports bottom salinity. Maps, tables, and photographs present the data.
