The Cretaceous Period is considered the archetypical greenhouse interval, yet there mounting evidence for intermittent cooler climatic phases throughout this geologic span. Few continental climate histories exist south of paleoequator, and fewer still Africa during time. Galula Formation one few exposed fossiliferous sedimentary successions from what now subequatorial that also contains paleoso...

Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy reveals a continuous depositional record through the Upper Cretaceous‒Paleocene succession in Zagros Basin; southwest Iran (southeastern part of Neo-Tethys), especially Cretaceous‒Paleogene and Danian‒Selandian boundaries. The upper Gurpi Formation lower Pabdeh were investigated. assemblages from these formations are characterized by abundant, diverse mode...

The La Veteada Formation, in the Sierra de Famatina (west of Argentina), is one few records Early Triassic age South America verified by isotopic and palynological assemblages. This unit composed sandstones, mudstones, shales, limestones, marls, with some levels gypsum, chert, tuff levels. In its stratotype, Formation rests on Late Permian red beds Talampaya covered Neogene breccias conglomerat...

New palynological and calcareous nannofossil records are presented for the Turonian–Coniacian boundary section at Salzgitter-Salder, Germany, candidate Coniacian GSSP. The proposed base of Stage is Bed 46, first appearance datum level Cremnoceramus deformis erectus, which coincident with a δ13C minimum top Navigation carbon isotope event. Palynological assemblages dominated by organic walled di...
