Abstract
Middle Miocene foraminifera from the northern Namibian outer continental shelf are indicators of a period prior to the initiation of the Benguela Upwelling System (BUS). This study provides an update to the occurrence and taxonomy of Miocene foraminifera from the continental margin of Namibia. The taxonomy of 51 benthic and 12 planktic foraminiferal species from the northern Namibian shelf are discussed, their stratigraphic significance given, and their ecological preferences and regional distribution summarised within this study. The identification of extinct planktic foraminifera provided key stratigraphic control for the middle Miocene strata of this region. The taxa identified in this study provide a distinct and different assemblage to the overlying younger strata. Many of the species recorded in this study have not been identified in the region and are reported for the first time from the middle Miocene on the southwestern continental shelf of Africa, off Namibia. A total of 47 species are identified and discussed for the first time from this region. Nineteen species recorded in this study are extinct and eleven taxa reported here have previously only been reported on the genus level on the southwestern shelf of South Africa. Seven benthic species (Amphicoryna scalaris, Marginulina obesa, Glandulina laevigata, Globocassidulina subglobosa, Uvigerina peregrina, Sphaeroidina bulloides and Melonis affinis) and two planktic species (Globigerina bulloides and Orbulina universa) did not disappear from the regional stratigraphy and continued to occur in Plio-Pleistocene to Recent sediments along the southwestern continental shelf of Africa.
