A suite of outcrop samples from the Cauvery Basin belonging to mudrock-claystone dominated Karai Formation were analysed for nannofossil biostratigraphy in two newly measured sections at and Garudamangalam. The age Section is interpreted as early Albian Turonian, whereas Garudamangalam late Cenomanian. ‘BC’ zones Bown et al. (1998) are applicable both sections, Cenomanian Turonian ‘UC’ Burnett ...

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...

The Cenomanian to early Santonian interval is usually considered a time of postrifting tectonic quiescence around the northern margins Iberia that preceded onset Pyrenean convergence by crustal thrusting in latest Santonian. However, plate kinematic models Mesozoic evolution poorly constrain Turonian-Santonian position relative Eurasia. This study reconstructs changes sedimentary facies and arc...

The Cenomanian-Turonian Gharesu section in the east of Kopet-Dagh basin have been investigated to determine the relationship between palaeoenvironmental perturbations and nitrogen cycling across OAE2. This succession is composed of 43 m shale and marl interbedded with glauconitic sandstone and lies between Aitamir-Abderaz formations boundary. The nitrogen Isotope values fluctuate between 0‰ to ...

At the Sidi Bouzid area located in Central Tunisia, Cenomanian-Turonian reservoir rocks are well outcropping, especially in the Jebel el Kébar and Meloussi areas. The present work confirms that these carbonate intervals constitute the lateral equivalent of the Early-Middle Turonian Biréno and Late Turonian-Coniacian Douleb reservoir Members which are included within the pelagic marls of the Tur...
