Summary:	This atlas of foraminifera is designed to update and enhance biostratigraphic correlations in the California Miocene. The study focuses primarily on the Monterey Formation, because it is a major source and reservoir of petroleum, and exclusively on the time interval during which it was deposited, 17.9 to 6.0 million years ago. Most of the recovered fauna derives from nine outcrop sections or areas in central and southern California, representing four Neogene coastal basins: Graves Creek (Salinas Basin), Indian Creek (Salinas Basin), Laguna Hills (Los Angeles Basin), Manville Quarry access road (Santa Maria Basin), Monterey County roadcuts (Salinas Basin), Naples Beach (Ventura Basin), Upper Newport Bay (Los Angeles Basin), San Clemente Island (Los Angeles Basin), and Topanga Canyon (Los Angeles Basin).
Target Audience:	Specialized.
