I sincerely invite you to read
this interesting publication of the development of the micropaleontology at
Trinidad Island and how it has played an integral role in petroleum exploration
and exploitation both locally and internationally. The planktonic foraminiferal
zonation of the Cenozoic developed in Trinidad became the standard
biostratigraphy used worldwide in the petroleum industry and in
paleoceanographic work.
In 1948 Hans H. Renz has
recognised the uppermost Trinidad Lower Miocene (Globigerinatella insueta)
and Middle Miocene (Globorotalia fohsi) zones in Falcon, Western
Venezuela. At the same time R.M. Stainforth compared planktonic foraminifera of
Trinidad with Venezuela and coastal Ecuador, and in 1953 the same thing was
being done on the Paleocene of Denmark by Paul Brönnimann
