Detailed correlation and astronomical forcing within the Upper Maastrichtian succession in the Basque Basin

We have undertaken a comprehensive, integrated, cyclo-magnetostratigraphic analysis and study of the calcareous nannofossils of the Upper Maastrichtian hemipelagic succession in three sections of the Basque Basin (Zumaia, Sopelana and Hendaia). The sections were correlated at bed-by-bed scale through careful analysis of the lithological stacking pattern and significant sedimentary features. For spectral analysis we used an available...
