GACR (2002-2004): High-resolution magnetostratigraphic and micropalaeontological correlation across Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary strata in the Tethyan and Boreal realms

• The principal aim of the detailed magnetostratigraphic and micropalaeontological investigation of the Jurassic/Cretaceous (J/K) boundary limestones in the basal portion (40 m) of the Bosso Valley section was to precisely determine the boundaries of magnetozones and narrow reverse subzones, and to find correlation between magnetostratigraphic data (reflecting global events) and calpionellid zonation. Two reverse subzones were detected in magnetozones M20n and M19n. These have the same positions relative to the magnetozones above and below as the reverse subzones at the recently studied locality of Brodno near Žilina, W Slovakia. Both the Brodno and Bosso sections hitherto represent the only magnetostratigraphic profiles across the J/K boundary strata in the continent-based outcrops in the Tethyan realm, displaying both reverse subzones, well correlable with analogous subzones in the M-sequence of marine magnetic anomalies.
