Abstract
The Brodno section — a potential regional stratotype of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary (Western Carpathians): Compared to coeval successions from the Carpathians, the continuous Jurassic-Cretaceous (J/K) pelagic limestone succession of the Brodno section offers the best possibility to document the J/K passage in a wide area. This section comprises a complete calpionellid, and nannofossil stratigraphic record, that supports the older paleomagnetic data. Moreover, the sequence stratigraphy and stable isotope (δ18O, δ13C) data gave important results, too, enabling comparison with known key sections from the Mediterranean Tethys area.Keywords
