Annual Report 2008 of the Calcareous Nannofossils Working Group

A short workshop of the Working group has been held during the 12 International Nannoplankton Association Conference (INA 12) in Lyon in September 2008. The main objectives of the working group should be:
– to develop a taxonomic atlas and, in collaboration with the INA at the same time populate the Nannotax web resource,
– to address Paleogene nannofossil biostratigraphy.
The President of INA Paul Bown and I we agreed to organize a new planning meeting on the morning of Wednesday 19th November at University College London in order to formalize the objectives and the planning schedule of the working group.
