“…A new cyclostratigraphic framework for the Zumaia section, with additional bio-, magneto-, and chemostratigraphic data, was obtained recently (Batenburg et al, 2012) and is displayed in Figure 2, together with the stratigraphic log of the lower Maastrichtian interval of the Sopelana section. Recently, a high resolution calcareous nannoplankton and planktonic foraminifera stratigraphy was obtained by Pérez- Rodríguez et al (2012), together with magnetostratigraphic information, which is correlated with our log (Supplementary Table 1).…”

“…This study elaborates on that work by extending the data records of reflectance and magnetic susceptibility with new data from the lower Maastrichtian Sopelana section, 60 km west of Zumaia. We also include the calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy for Zumaia of Pérez- Rodríguez et al (2012) and we present new calcareous nannofossil data from Sopelana and additional magnetostratigraphic data.…”

The rhythmically bedded limestone-marl alternations in the coastal cliffs of Sopelana and Zumaia in the Basque country, northern Spain, permit testing and refining of existing Maastrichtian chronologies (latest Cretaceous). The recently established astronomical time scale for the late Maastrichtian at Zumaia is extended into C31n with the integrated stratigraphy of the Sopelana section. The cyclic alternations of hemipelagic limestones and marls at Sopelana show a strong influence of eccentricity-modulated precession. Together, the Zumaia and Sopelana sections span almost the entire Maastrichtian, and encompass thirteen 405kyr cycles, spanning a total duration of 5.3Myr. From the K/Pg boundary downwards, 405kyr minima in the lithological, magnetic susceptibility and reflectance data records are tuned to successive 405kyr minima in the new La2011 eccentricity solution. Assuming a K/Pg boundary age of 65.97Ma, we present orbitally tuned ages of biostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic events. While the bases of Chrons C29r and C30n were reliably established at Zumaia and are in good agreement with previous studies, new data from Sopelana provide a refinement of the basal age of Chron C31r. Additional planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton data from Zumaia, and new calcareous nannoplankton data from Sopelana allow for worldwide correlation of the cyclostratigraphy of the Basque country.

These events are re corded in very sim i lar strati graphic po si tions in the Lägerdorf-Kronsmoor succes sion (north ern Ger many) and in the suc ces sion of east ern Eng land and, at least some of them, in east ern Eu rope. Accord ingly they can serve as im por tant mark ers for strati graphic cor re la tion across Eu rope. The FOs of the plank tonic spe cies, Rugoglobigerina milamensis, R. hexacamerata and R. pennyi, in the up per most part of the "Inoceramus" redbirdensis Zone, are very close to the Campanian/Maastrichtian bound ary as de fined by inoceramid bi valves (Walaszczyk, 2004) and we pro pose these plank tonic foraminiferal bioevents as a good proxy for this bound ary in tem per ate re gions.

“…Therefore, the foraminiferal assemblages of epicontinental Poland are taxonomically much more depleted than Tethyan-Central Atlantic assemblages, missing the most of the characteristic forms of the latter area. Consequently, the standard globotruncanid and heterohelicid zonations (i.a., Caron 1979, 1995;Robaszynski et al 1984;Huber et al 2008;Pérez-Rodríguez et al 2012;Ogg and Hinnov 2012), based mainly on Tethyan-Central Atlantic species, cannot be applied. Actually, this standard zonation works only, and to a limited extent, in the Cenomanian and Turonian (see Peryt 1980Peryt , 1983Wyrwicka 1991, 1993;Peryt et al 1994;Dubicka and Machalski 2016), being almost totally useless in the later part of the epoch.…”

The biostratigraphic importance, current zonations, and potential for the recognition of the standard chronostratigraphic boundaries of five palaeontological groups (benthic foraminifers, ammonites, belemnites, inoceramid bivalves and echinoids), critical for the stratigraphy of the Santonian through Maastrichtian (Upper Cretaceous) of extra-Carpathian Poland, are presented and discussed. The summary is based on recent studies in selected sections of southern Poland (Nida Synclinorium; Puławy Trough including the Middle Vistula River composite section; and Mielnik and Kornica sections of south-eastern Mazury-Podlasie Homocline) and of western Ukraine (Dubivtsi). The new zonation based on benthic forams is presented for the entire interval studied. Zonations for ammonites, belemnites and inoceramid bivalves are compiled. All stage boundaries, as currently defined or understood, may easily be constrained or precisely located with the groups discussed: the base of the Santonian with the First Occurrence (FO) of the inoceramid Cladoceramus undulatoplicatus; the base of the Campanian with the Last Occurrence (LO) of the crinoid Marsupites testudinarius and approximated by the range of the foraminifer Stensioeina pommerana; and the base of the Maastrichtian approximated by the FO of the inoceramid bivalve Endocostea typica and the FO of the belemnite Belemnella vistulensis. The positions of substage boundaries, as currently understood, are constrained in terms of the groups discussed.
