“…Calpionellids are an example of such group, owing to their uniform occurrence and diversification; as a result they are widely used in biostratigraphic analyses of the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous pelagic sequences throughout the Tethyan Realm (Allemann et al, 1971;Remane, 1971;Remane et al, 1986;Pop, 1974Pop, , 1994Reháková & Michalík, 1997;Lakova, et al, 1999;Boughdiri et al, 2006;Houša et al, 2007). From the point of view of calpionellid biostratigraphic potential, we note that alongside Calpionellites darderi, the index marker for the Berriasian/Valanginian stage boundary (Bulot, 1996), Calpionella alpina is considered to be most useful marker for determination of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary (Andreini et al, 2007;Houša et al, 2007;Wimbledon, 2008;Michalík et al, 2009;Grabowski et al, 2010a,b;Lukeneder et al, 2010;Pruner et al, 2010;Michalík & Reháková, 2011;Petrova et al, 2012;Guzhikov et al, 2012;Lakova & Petrova, 2013;López-Martínez et al, 2013, 2015Wimbledon et al, 2013Wimbledon et al, , 2017Hoedemaeker et al, 2016;Michalík et al, 2016;Svobodová & Košťák, 2016;Grabowski et al, 2017;Elbra et al, 2018 a,b;Kowal-Kasprzyk & Reháková, 2019).…”
