“…The two cores were chosen for this study because of an already existing detailed biostratigraphic framework, the presence of chemostratigraphic data (carbonate content, δ 13 C values) and excellent core recovery in both cases. For lithostratigraphic and biostratigraphic details see Berensmeier et al (2018), Dölling et al (2018), and Püttmann et al (2018).Additionally, four samples from the chalk facies (Seaford Head) were provided by Prof. Ian Jarvis (Kingston University London) for calcareous nannofossil analysis. The material was correlated based on biostratigraphic and chemostratigraphic data from Jarvis et al (2006) and Hampton et al (2007).…”

Key Points • Coccolithophore abundance and diversity patterns from nearshore and offshore deposits of Late Cretaceous age (100-66 Ma) have been studied • The shallow marine successions of the Late Cretaceous greenhouse world provided, unexpectedly, highly diverse coccolithophore assemblages • The findings allow to reconstruct Late Cretaceous marine environments and the paleoecology of coccolithophores

“…During a recent drilling campaign in northwestern Germany, Cenomanian to lower Campanian strata (100‐81 Ma) have been cored in 13 wells (Dölling et al., 2018). The cores recovered glauconite‐rich marls, which were deposited about 0–10 km north off the former coast, under shallow‐marine conditions.…”

Multi-proxy analyses of Late Cretaceous coprolites from Germany

A total of 462 coprolites from three localities exposing Upper Cretaceous deposits in the Münster Basin, northwestern Germany, have been subjected to an array of analytical techniques, with the aim of elucidating ancient trophic structures and predator–prey interactions. The phosphatic composition, frequent bone inclusions, size and morphology collectively suggest that most, if not all, coprolites were produced by carnivorous (predatory or scavenging) vertebrates. The bone inclusions further indicate that the coprolite producers preyed principally upon fish. Putative host animals include bony fish, sharks and marine reptiles – all of which have been previously recorded from the Münster Basin. The presence of borings and other traces on several coprolites implies handling by coprophagous organisms. Remains of epibionts are also common, most of which have been identified as the encrusting bivalve Atreta. Palynological analyses of both the coprolites and host rocks reveal a sparse assemblage dominated by typical Late Cretaceous dinoflagellates, and with sub‐ordinate fern spores, conifer pollen grains and angiosperm pollen grains. The dinoflagellate key taxon Exochosphaeridium cenomaniense corroborates a Cenomanian age for the Plenus Marl, from which most studied coprolites derive. The findings of this study highlight the potential of a multi‐proxy approach when it comes to unravelling the origin, composition and importance of coprolites in palaeoecosystem analyses.

Calcareous nannofossils in medieval mortar and mortar‐based materials: A powerful tool for provenance analysis

Calcareous nannofossils—very small‐scaled marine microfossils—occur in many archaeological materials. Foremost, these include limestones used in masonry, material which has not experienced significant modification by humans. Poorly documented are nannofossils in mortars, because the burning process of quicklime requires the heating of the raw material to > 800°C. Here we focus on calcareous nannofossils in mortar and mortar‐based samples of four medieval buildings in northern Germany. The study documents the presence of nannofossils in historic mortars. It supplies evidence for the provenance of the mortars used, thereby introducing a new tool for mortar provenance studies.
