Abstract
Description
Se realiza una recopilación de los estudios realizados con microfósiles en Costa Rica, con enfoques que varían desde bioestratigráficos, paleoecológicos y paleoclimáticos. Los estudios más numerosos se realizan con los foraminíferos (planctónicos y bentónicos), ya que se encuentran en el registro fósil desde el Jurásico, con numerosos eventos de extinción y aparición de nuevas especies que los hace una buena herramienta bioestratigráfica. También se presenta las investigaciones de otros grupos menores como radiolarios, tecamebas, diatomeas y polen.
A compilation of studies with microfossils in Costa Rica is carried out from biostratigraphic, paleoecological and paleoclimatic point of view. The most numerous studies are done with foraminifera (planktonic and benthic), which are found in the fossil record since the Jurassic period, with numerous events of extinction and the appearance of new species that makes them a good biostratigraphic tool. Investigations in other minor groups such as radiolarians, testate amoebae, diatoms and pollen, are presented as well.
