A highly resolved record of stable carbon isotope values (?13C) the Late Cretaceous to Palaeogene (Cenomanian – Danian) was generated from ditch-cuttings material recovered Shearwater A9 hydrocarbon production well, Field, Central North Sea. The profile ?13C integrated with calcareous nannofossil and foraminifera biostratigraphy provide an stratigraphy for Chalk Group. Detailed correlation betw...

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...

New age data from Sr isotope analysis and both planktonic foraminifera and nannofossils are presented and discussed here for the Upper Eocene–Upper Miocene sedimentary rocks of the Değirmenlik (Kythrea) Group. New dating is also given of some Cretaceous and Pliocene sediments. In a revised stratigraphy the Değirmenlik (Kythrea) Group is divided into ten formations. Different Upper Miocene forma...

Using semi-quantitative methods, the distribution of deep-water agglutinated foraminifera (DW AF) was analyzed within Latest Albian-earliest Turonian pelagic limestones famous Bottaccione standard section. The characteristic bathyal communities include forms purely "flysch-lype" assemblages and elements which are typical Upper Cretaceous abyssal environments North Atlantic. Well-established pla...

Abstract The Nukhul Formation has been a point of controversy until now due to lack index fossils, varied facies modifications, and different time gaps. As result, the calcareous nannofossils exposed Miocene rocks at Wadi Baba, west-central Sinai have studied quantitatively for first time. An important sequence nannofossil bioevents recorded in Formation, including FOs Discoaster druggii , Sphe...
