Biostratigraphy of Tri Ton carbonate formation, south of Song Hong basin
Abstract
Tri Ton carbonate sedimentary formation (south of Song Hong basin) is primarily formed from skeletal remains of various fossil groups such as red algae (Rhodophyta), Coralla, Crinoidea, Bryozoa, and Larger Benthic Foraminifera. The group of Larger Foraminifera (LF) is of important signifi cance both in terms of sedimentation and stratigraphic age. In addition, the relatively abundant presence of LF representatives is an evidence of Middle Miocene and shallow marine sediments deposited, warm water, with a high degree of transparency so the light can penetrate to the bottom, and convenient low energy for the development of reef-building organisms. This article introduces the use of the LF group to determine the stratigraphic age and environmental strata of Tri Ton sedimentary carbonate deposition, south of Song Hong basin.
