Late Campanian-Maastrichtian foraminiferal biostratigraphy and paleoecology at Wadi Tarfa (North Eastern Desert, Egypt)

Youssef S. Bazeen et al.

Summary: The foraminiferal assemblages of the upper Campanian-Maastrichtian studied in the Wadi Tarfa section of the Egyptian North Eastern Desert provide insights into paleoenvironments and relative sea-level changes. By analyzing the benthic foraminiferal dataset, paleobathymetry, oxygenation levels, and trophic conditions were quantified. The inferred foraminiferal-based sea-level curve indicates fluctuating paleodepths and distinguishes third-order sequences, with the development showing a greater control of eustasy and regional impact of the Syrian Arc Orogeny on sea-level events.

Upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian integrated carbon isotope stratigraphy and calcareous microplankton biostratigraphy of North-central Tunisia

Sherif Farouk et al.

Summary: A comprehensive stratigraphic framework for the upper Campanian-lower Maastrichtian succession in the Elles section of North-central Tunisia is presented, using an integrated approach of calcareous nannofossil and planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy along with carbon isotope stratigraphy. Seven delta C-13 events were identified for global correlation, with assessments made on the isochroneity and diachroneity of microplankton bioevents in relation to carbon isotope stratigraphy. The Campanian/Maastrichtian boundary was precisely positioned within the El Haria Formation at the base of delta C-13 event CMBc, providing important insights into the stratigraphic and biostratigraphic relationships in the studied interval.
