Abstract

For the first time a high-precision planetary stratigraphic correlation of Phanerozoic sedimentary marine and continental deposits on the level of mark beds and members was produced, using a combination of methods of event, paleomagnetic, sequence and cyclic stratigraphy. Schemes of diachronism of biostratigraphic zones for the Late Maastrichtian are proposed.
