The lithostratigraphy, calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy, carbon‐ and oxygen‐isotope stratigraphy and gamma‐ray profile are presented for the Skælskør‐1 core, eastern Denmark. The correlation of carbon isotopes to Gubbio (Italy) and ODP Site 762C (Indian Ocean) provides the chronostratigrahical framework of the core through a tie to magnetostratigraphy. Two new carbon‐isotope excursions are defined for the uppermost Maastrichtian of the core and prove useful for long‐distance correlation. Twenty stratigraphic tie‐points are used for correlation of the upper Campanian–Maastrichtian interval by combining carbon‐isotope and gamma‐ray variations. Significant dissimilarities in the gamma‐ray profiles of the Danish Basin cores preclude the sole use of this tool for basin‐scale correlations. Bulk oxygen‐isotopes and semi‐quantitative abundance changes in the warm‐water calcareous nannofossil Watznaueria barnesiae and the cool‐water Kamptnerius magnificus highlight the following past changes in sea‐surface temperatures (SSTs): relatively warm late Campanian SSTs, cooling across the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary and through the early Maastrichtian, warming across the early–late Maastrichtian transition, cooling in the late Maastrichtian, intense warming in the latest Maastrichtian chron C29r, followed by a very short episode of cooling immediately before the Cretaceous–Palaeogene boundary. The late Campanian–Maastrichtian evolution in sea water temperatures inferred from the Danish Basin is similar to that delineated at tropical latitude oceanic sites.

“…In the uppermost Maastrichtian, this sponge was found in Stevns Klint (Denmark) in the Belemnitella junior-Belemnitella kazimiroviensis Zone (Brünnich and Nielsen 1929;Hansen and Surlyk 2014). The species is also known from other Maastrichtian sections in this part of Europe, as e.g., Germany (Schleswig-Holstein region after Neumann et al 2008), Belgium (Lixhe, province of Liege after Jagt et al 2009) and Denmark (Alaborg, Mons Klint after Brünnich Nielsen 1929, for stratigraphical details see Surlyk et al 2013), however, its precise stratigraphic locations from there are uncertain.…”

The stratigraphical distribution of Porosphaera globularis, a common calcareous sponge in the Upper Cretaceous (mostly Campanian and Maastrichtian) of Poland was studied. The presented material, both new and from museum collections, comes from the Campanian of the Miechów Synclinorium, in southern Poland, and from the Lower Campanian of Mielnik in the south-eastern part of the Mazury-Podlasie Homocline, in eastern Poland. The significance of the species in extra-regional correlation, its palaeobiogeography and stratigraphical potential is critically reviewed.

“…The Mesozoic fossil record of Scandinavia and its Arctic territories of Greenland and Svalbard span the dawn of the Triassic some 252 myr ago (Wordie Creek Formation, East Greenland: Nielsen 1935;Bendix-Almgreen 1976;Looy et al 2001;Stemmerik et al 2001;Bjerager et al 2006) through to the terminal Cretaceous -Palaeogene boundary 66 myr ago (Møns Klint Formation, Denmark: Damholt & Surlyk 2012;Surlyk et al 2013;Adolfssen & Ward 2014;Hansen & Surlyk 2014). This interval is marked by the nascence of modern faunal and floral biodiversity, and culminated in one of the most cataclysmic extinction events in Earth history.…”

The Mesozoic biotas of Scandinavia have been studied for nearly two centuries. However, the last 15 years have witnessed an explosive advance in research, most notably on the richly fossiliferous Triassic (Olenekian-Carnian) and Jurassic (Tithonian) Lagerstätten of the Norwegian Arctic Svalbard archipelago, Late Cretaceous (Campanian) Kristianstad Basin and Vomb Trough of Skåne in southern Sweden, and the UNESCO heritage site at Stevns Klint in Denmark -the latter constituting one of the most complete Cretaceous-Palaeogene (Maastrichtian -Danian) boundary sections known globally. Other internationally significant deposits include earliest (Induan) and latest Triassic (Norian-Rhaetian) strata from the Danish autonomous territory of Greenland, and the Early Jurassic (Sinemurian-Pliensbachian) to Early Cretaceous (Berriasian) rocks of southern Sweden and the Danish Baltic island of Bornholm, respectively. Marine palaeocommunities are especially well documented, and comprise prolific benthic macroinvertebrates, together with pelagic cephalopods, chondrichthyans, actinopterygians and aquatic amniotes (ichthyopterygians, sauropterygians and mosasauroids). Terrestrial plant remains (lycophytes, sphenophytes, ferns, pteridosperms, cycadophytes, bennettitaleans and ginkgoes), including exceptionally well-preserved carbonized flowers, are also world famous, and are occasionally associated with faunal traces such as temnospondyl amphibian bones and dinosaurian footprints. While this collective documented record is substantial, much still awaits discovery. Thus, Scandinavia and its Arctic territories represent some of the most exciting prospects for future insights into the spectacular history of Mesozoic life and environments.
