“…The base of the upper Santonian seems to be best defined by the FO of Stensioeina gracilis (see also the Staffhorst section, northern Germany, Niebuhr et al 1999). The FO of S. gracilis at or close to the middle/upper Santonian boundary, as defined by the FO of the crinoid Uintacrinus socialis was also recorded in various West European localities (Koch 1977;Bailey et al 1983;Schönfeld 1990;Hampton et al 2007).…”

“…In view of the arguments provided, benthic foraminifera (mostly calcareous rotaliids) seem to have a much higher stratigraphic potential and applicablity within the entire European epicontinental Upper Cretaceous, than planktonic ones (Reuss 1860;Marsson 1878;Brotzen 1936;Marie 1941;Hiltermann 1952;Hofker 1957Hofker , 1966Vasilenko 1961;Hiltermann and Koch 1950, 1955, 1962Goel 1965;GaworBiedowa 1972GaworBiedowa , 1992Koch 1977;Bailey and Hart 1979;Edwards 1981;Akimetz et al 1978;1983;Bailey et al 1983;Peryt 1983;Hart et al 1989;King et al 1989;Schönfeld 1990;Hradecká 1996;Walaszczyk et al 2004;Hampton et al 2007;Kopaevich et al 2007;Olferiev et al 2007;Wilkinson 2011;Benyamovskiy et al 2012). …”

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.

“…The sample is of the Cuckmere beds, Seaford Chalk belonging to the Upper Chalk, taken from between 1m and 1.6 m above the stratigraphic marker provided by the Seven Sisters tabular flint band. This section is described as a uniform pure-white chalk of the Micraster coranguinum zone (Mortimore, 1997), and of the foraminiferal biozone S. exscupta exscupta (Bailey et al, 1983). This uniformity makes it ideal for the use as a test material.…”

The application of microfossils in assessing the provenance of chalk used in the manufacture of Roman mosaics at Silchester

Microfossils recovered from chalk tesserae in mosaics from the Roman town Calleva Atrebatum, modern Silchester, southern England, are used to suggest a provenance for the source-rock. The microfossils include foraminifera characteristic of late Cretaceous (Campanian) foraminiferal biozone BGS20 (quadrata macrofaunal biozone) and subzone BGS21i (basal mucronata macrofaunal biozone). Calcareous nannofossil assemblages from the same tesserae are poorly preserved, preventing precise age determination, but confirm an age of Santonian to Campanian. As indurated chalk beds of this age are not present in the chalks of southern England, it is probable that calcretized chalk, formed by secondary calcification beneath Palaeogene rock cover, was used to manufacture the tesserae. This suggestion is supported by a comparative analysis of chalk tesserae from the Norden Roman site in Dorset.Although the provenance of the chalk in some of the Silchester tesserae can be placed only within a broad geographical area of downland in southern England, others apparently originated in the Dorchester-Swanage-Portsdown area, some 100 km to the
