Le Mans (Cenomanum Romano)

The Cenomanian was introduced in scientific

literature by French palaeontologist Alcide
d'Orbigny in 1847.
Its name comes from the New Latin name of
the French city of Le Mans
(dpartement Sarthe), Cenomanum.

sometimes called the Bonarelli Event

Another fascinating feature of the Cretaceous is
the occurrence of several Oceanic Anoxic Events
(OAEs). OAEs are brief intervals (<106 yr) when
large areas of the seafloor became anoxic.
Evidence of OAEs can be found in Cretaceous
marine sediments, including characteristic
organic-rich sediments (black shale), carbon-
isotope excursions, major marine faunal
turnover, etc. OAEs are consequences of a set of
complicated feedbacks operating both in the
ocean and on land, and represent major
perturbations in the carbon cycle. Investigating
the causes of OAEs can offer insights into how climotope.earth.ox.ac.uk
different components of the Earth system
interact with each other during periods of major
climatic and environmental changes.
 TURONIANO

Touraine (Turonia Romano)

The Turonian (French: Turonien) was definied

by the French paleontologist
Alcide d'Orbigny (18021857) in 1842. Orbigny
named it after the French city of Tours in the
region of Touraine
(department Indre-et-Loire), which is the
original type locality.

Champagne (Campania Romano)

The Campanian was introduced in scientific

literature by Henri Coquand in 1857.
It is named after the French village
of Champagne in the dpartement
Charente-Maritime. The original type
locality was an outcropnear the village
of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne in the same region.
Due to changes of the stratigraphic
definitions, this section is now part of
the Maastrichtian stage.

 MAASTRICHTIANO

Maastricht Holanda
Maestrichtiano

The Maastrichtian was introduced into

scientific literature by Belgian
geologist Andr Hubert Dumont in 1849, after
studying rock strata of the Chalk Group close
to the Dutch city of Maastricht. These strata
are now classified as the Maastricht
Formation - both formation and stage derive
their names from the city.
The Maastricht Formation is known for its
fossils from this age, most notably those of the
giant sea reptile Mosasaurus, which in turn
also derives its name from the Dutch city
(mosa being Latin for the river Maas).
