Base: Inception of Globorotalites michelinianus and extinction of Lingulogavelinella globosa.

Top: Inception of Marginotruncana pseudolinneiana.

Biomarkers:

  • The Lazarus effect causes a general disappearance of Gavelinella tourainensis at the base of the zone, but the species reappears in the Late Turonian.
  • Although a long ranging taxon, the inception of common Labyrinthidoma (= Coskinophragma) is characteristic of the New Pit Chalk Formation (at the level of the New Pit Marls) in south-eastern England (upper part of the foraminiferal zone and middle part of the T. lata macrofaunal zone).

Macrofaunal correlation: upper Mytiloides spp. Zone to middle T. lata Zone

Age: Early Turonian
