Abstract
The purpose of this study is to look at well data from Libya and adjacent areas of North Africa to study changes in the abundance and diversity of nummulites from the Late Paleocene to Early Oligocene, in order to further evaluate tectonic vs. climatic controls on the timing of nummulite speciation.
