Cenomanian (upper Cretaceous) palynology and chemostratigraphy : dinoflagellate cysts as indicators of palaeoenvironmental and sea-level change

A high-resolution (sub-metre) quantitative study of the palynology (dominantly organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts, i.e. dinocysts) and host-rock geochemistry (major-element and stable isotope) is presented for seven Cenomanian sections from NW Europe (Culver Cliff and Folkestone, UK, Vergons and Po...
