“…Globigerinelloides had a wide paleobiogeographic distribution with relatively low abundances and it is considered to have been more sensitive to environmental changes than some species of Muricohedbergella and Whiteinella based on its tendency to disappear before other taxa in a shoreward direction . Abramovich et al (2003) showed that late CampanianeMaastrichtian species of Globigerinelloides were thermocline dwellers based on stable isotopic evidence, and Petrizzo et al (2008) showed that G. bentonensis was a thermocline dweller during the late Albian. In the WIS, G. bentonensis occurs in abundance in the basal Bridge Creek Limestone and becomes common in the Sciponoceras gracile Zone before going extinct just above the level of the keeled Rotalipora greenhornensis and R. cushmani ( Fig.…”

“…Tercis, France; northern Germany; eastern England: after Jarvis et al 2002, Voigt et al 2010 are plotted using the age-model of Voigt et al (2012); samples older than 79 Ma are interpolated by using the GTS age of the Santonian-Campanian boundary (83. eschweizerbart_xxx This is supported by the observation that the genera Globotruncana, Globotruncanita, and Globotruncanel la, which are usually common in late Campanian deeper-water settings (Abramovich et al 2003, 2010, Pérez-Rodríguez et al 2012, are only represented in Shuqualak Evans by a few specimens each, suggesting conditions were not suitable for all planktonic foraminifera. Thus, it is possible that the stratigraphic range of R. calcarata is shorter in Shuqualak than in other North Atlantic localities due to local conditions.…”

Abstract. The Campanian-Maastrichtian (83-66 Ma) was a period of global climate cooling, featuring significant negative carbon-isotope (δ 13 C) anomalies, such as the Late Campanian Event (LCE) and the Campanian-Maastrichtian Boundary Event (CMBE). A variety of factors, including changes in temperature, oceanic circulation and gateway opening, have been invoked to explain these δ 13 C perturbations, but no precise mechanism has yet been well constrained. In order to improve our understanding of these events, we measured stable carbon and oxygen isotopes of hemipelagic sediments from the Shuqualak-Evans cored borehole (Mississippi, USA) and compared the data with previously published sea-surface temperature (SST) estimates from the same core. We found that the CMBE can be recognised, unambiguously, in the ShuqualakEvans core, and that it is associated with an interval of cooler SSTs suggesting a possible mechanistic link between palaeotemperature change and this event. Determining the precise position of the LCE in the Shuqualak-Evans core is more problematic, but it may also be associated with cooler SSTs. Our combined records of carbon cycling and SSTs compare well with other studies and provide evidence that cooling during the CMBE (and possibly LCE) was global in nature and affected surface waters, in addition to the deep-ocean. We suggest that short-term cooling drove intensification of high-latitude deep-water formation, which in turn led to changes in the ratio of carbonate to organic carbon burial that led to a negative δ 13 C excursion. Critically, the absence of warming during these intervals implies that the Late Cretaceous events must not have been associated with an appreciable increase in atmospheric pCO 2 , and was likely associated with decreased pCO 2 .

“…Complex morphotypes (K-strategists) represent the bathypelagic group. According to Abramovich et al (2003), most of them belong to subsurface or thermocline (even subthermocline) groups of foraminifera. The more K-selected of the r/K intermediates are represented by trochospiral forms with hemispheric small chambers and one peripheral keel, the example of which is zonal species Gansserina gansseri.…”

“…Representatives of trochospiral genera Archaeoglobigerina and Rugoglobigerina and planspiral genus Globigerinelloides are some of the more r-selected of the r/K intermediate morphotype groups. Zonal marker Gansserina gansseri is distinguished as a thermocline group foraminifera in the Lower Maastrichtian, while unkeeled intermediate morphotypes belong to the subsurface water foraminifera group (Abramovich et al 2003). The species Heterohelix globulosa, as an opportunistic taxon (r-strategists), also belongs to the thermocline group of foraminifera.…”

Abstract:Micropalaeontological and biostratigraphical studies included Campanian-Maastrichtian complexes from five oil exploration wells drilled in northern Serbia (Vojvodina): the first is a carbonate-clastic complex and second is a complex containing ophiolites intercalated with hemipelagic and pelagic sediments. Within the studied complexes, rich associations of planktonic and benthic foraminifera, calcareous nannoplankton, palynomorphs, as well as shallow and deep-water fossil detritus were determined. The presence of relatively rich associations of planktonic foraminifera allowed recognition of two biozones: the Globotruncana ventricosa Zone, observed in the sediments of the carbonateclastic complex and the Gansserina gansseri Zone, observed in both complexes. Except biozones, based on documented index species, for some units in both complexes, larger benthic foraminifera species had special biostratigraphical value, and in some of them, the calcareous nannoplankton zones were recognized. The studied complexes represent deep-water formations, generated in oceanic island arc and trough zones. The presence of limestones, which originate from destroyed rudist reefs, is explained by transfer by means of gravitational transport mechanisms of shallow-water sediments to deep-water depositional environments. In this paper, the results of more detailed biostratigraphical and palaeo-ecological studies of foraminifera associations in Campanian-Maastrichtian complexes in Vojvodina are presented. Combined with lithological studies, seven units were determined within the complexes. The obtained results are important as a part of multidisciplinary, regional exploration of both complexes, generated in specific geological conditions, that today constitute a part of the pre-Neogene basement complex in the southeastern part of the Pannonian Basin. The CampanianMaastrichtian carbonate-clastic complex represents sedimentary cover of the Eastern Vardar Ophiolitic Unit, while the ophiolites intercalated with hemipelagic and pelagic limestones belongs to the Sava Zone.
