Palynology of the Cenomanian to lowermost Campanian (Upper Cretaceous) Chalk of the Trunch Borehole (Norfolk, UK) and a new dinoflagellate cyst bioevent stratigraphy for NW Europe

A high-resolution palynological analysis of the Cenomanian to Lower Campanian in the Trunch borehole, Norfolk (southern North Sea basin) is documented. This constitutes the most detailed continuous record of organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts (dinocysts) from a single Upper Cretaceous section to date. A revised stratigraphic framework for the Trunch succession is presented, integrating regional marker bed lithostratigraphy, macrofossil...
