Carpathians, the Apuseni Mountains in Romania and
the Central Apennines form one region in which the
platforms appear to exhibit identical or similar biozo-
nation sequences.

10.4 Where to Look for Thin-Section
Pictures of Fossils and Microfacies
Types
A good picture may say more than many words. There-
fore, the survey given in Sect. 10.2 on the various groups
of thin-section fossils is supplemented in a more prac-
tical way by the following list, which should assist in
finding appropriate thin-section photographs. Sect. 10.4
presents a bibliography of topics and papers that in-
clude good and instructive photographs (at least 10
plates) of skeletal grains and common microfacies types
in Phanerozoic carbonates. Not included are specific
publications on the major groups of thin-section fos-
sils (foraminifera, calcareous algae).
The references are marked by letters that character-
ize the main topics dealt with: BZ - biozonations based
on thin-section fossils, E - environmental conditions,
F - facies characteristics and sedimentological criteria,
FM - facies models, P - valuable paleontological infor-
mations, PD - paleontological determinations that can
be used in the generic and/or specific assignment of
thin-section fossils.
