They are very good biostratigraphic markers within marine sediments by covering the Jurassic to present. The standard preparation of a sample for nannofossil analysis requires the collection of the largest quantity and the best fossils. Sample preparation accords to the following steps i. Pounding sample ii. Eliminating organic matter iii. Washing sample iv. Filter sample through the sieve v. Eliminating clay vi. Drying sample in an incubator vii. Packing sample. Sample analysis accords to the following steps i. Preparation of smear - slide ii. Observation of morphology iii. Determination iv. Taking photo v. Evaluating overall preservation and abundance of fossils vi. Making analysis result sheet. This process is applied to study calcareous nannofossils within marine sediments in Soc Trang province. It makes much clear to understand middle Pleistocene-early Holocene ecosystem of calcareous nannofossil. In conclusion this assemblage belongs to NN21 zone by the present of Emiliania huxleyi and Gephyrocapsa oceanica.
