Abstract

The fossil calcareous and siliceous phytoplankton occurring in the Neogene of the island of Crete — Greece — (South Aegean island arc), was studied using normal ligntmicroscopic techniques. By this method it was possible to identify 13 species of the silicoflagellates and 22 species of the diatoms, which are investigated in this work for their stratigraphical range. The nannoplankton assemblages along the locality from Tsikalaria belong to theDistephanus boliviensis and theDiscoaster tamalis zone (early Upper Pliocene).
