| Formation: | Craie de Spiennes | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Craie de Spiennes, which unconformably overlies the Craie de Nouvelles (Late Campanian), and is overlain by the Craie de Ciply (Early Maastrichtian). AGE: late Late Campanian, on the basis of ammonite and belemnite biostratigraphy. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Collection is a composite of the entire formation. | |||||
