Annales de la Societe Geologique de Belgique, T. 103-1980, pp. 55-61 decembre 1980 NOTE ON THE STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION OF THE ZONDERSCHOT SANDS MEMBER OF THE BERCHEM FORMATION (MIOCENE, BELGIUM) 1 by H.J.F. HOOYBERGHS 2 ( 1 table and 1 plate) RESUME.- Trois echantillons de la localite type des Sables de Zonderschot, Formation de Berchem, contiennent 15 especes de foraminiferes planctoniques. L'association des foraminiferes planctoniques indique une Biozone provinciale a Globigerinoides trilobus trilobus I Globigerinoides altiaperturus. ABSTRACT.- Planktonic foraminifera are recorded from three samples of the Zonderschot Sands Member of the Berchem Formation in the type locality at Zonderschot. Altogether 15 taa are described. The association of planktonic foraminifera indicates a provincial Globigerinoides trilobus trilobus / Globigerinoides altiaperturus Biozone. 1.- INTRODUCTION In a temporary ecavation for a new pipe line at Zonderschot (Heist-op-den-Berg; X = 176,50, Y = 194,60) a 60 cm thick layer of glauconiferous and very fossiliferous sand was visible in 1972 between the underlying eroded Boom Clay and 3,5 m Quaternary sand. The dark green clayey and micaceous sand has been defined as the Zonderschot Sands Member of the Berchem Formation (DE MEUTER & LAGA, 1976). This contribution deals with the planktonic foraminifera recorded from three samples of these Zonderschot Sands in the type locality (B 327, B 328, B 329), taken every 20 cm from the base to the top of the 20 cm thick deposit. II.- STRATIGRAPHY The distribution of the planktonic foraminif era in the Zonderschot Sands samples is represented in table 1. The populations are dominated by Globigerina angustiumbilicata and by taa of the Globigerina praebulloides group. Some less frequently occuring taa however are more important in a biostratigraphical point of view. Especially the presence of Globorotalia zealandica incognita, Globigerinoides trilobus trilobus and Globigerinoides altiaperturus are interesting. The association of planktonic foraminifera within the Zonderschot Sands can be considered as a Globigerinoides trilobus trilobus / Globigerinoides altiaperturus Concurrent Range Zone. Some other important taa as f.i. Globigerinatella insueta and Globigerinita dissimilis have not yet been observerd in the Zonderschot Sands. The association of planktonic foraminifera within the Zonderschot Sands resembles this of the higher part of the Houthalen Sands (HOOYBERGHS & DE MEUTER, 1972). Globigerinoides trilobus trilobus and Globigerinoides altiaperturus also occur together in this part. Globorotalia zealandica incognita however is recorded first from the Zonderschot Sands. The stratigraphic gap between the Zonderschot Sands and the older Houthalen Sands (Burdigalian) appears to be very restricted. The correlation of the planktonic foraminiferal association in the Zonderschot Sands with those of the Antwerpen Sands still has to be worked out in detail. Globorotalia zealandica incognita also occurs in the Antwerpen Sands. It has been described as Globorotalia sp. by HOOYBERGHS & DE MEUTER (1972).
