Abstract
A dinoflagellate cyst biostratigraphy for the upper Campanian–lower Maastrichtian interval in the newly described Oslen-Krivodol section, northwest Bulgaria, is proposed. The dinocyst scheme comprises the zones of Areoligera coronata and Cerodinium diebelii, in ascending order, and illustrates the sharp transition between the Campanian and Maastrichtian dinocyst assemblages. The presented results confirm the high potential of dinoflagellate cysts for biostratigraphic correlations in the Campanian–Maastrichtian boundary interval.
