Title: A foraminiferal datum in the Vectis Formation (Wealden Group, Lower Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight, southern England
Abstract: Two species of agglutinated foraminifera are documented from the topmost Shepherd's Chine Member of the Vectis Formation (Wealden Group, Lower Cretaceous) of the Isle of Wight. These are abundant within a stratigraphically restricted interval which is traceable across the island. The foraminifera are interpreted as environmentally tolerant opportunists and supplement sedimentological and macrofaunal evidence for brackish-marine incursions into the Vectis Formation lagoon.
