Late Cenozoic benthic foraminifers of the HLA borehole series, Beaufort Sea Shelf, Alaska /

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages in marine strata of 18 boreholes in the Beaufort Sea shelf are correlated with late Cenozoic marine transgressions. Paleoenvironmental interpretations of the transgression are based on these benthic foraminifers.
