Chemo-, bio- and magnetostratigraphy of the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in the Snežnica (Outer Western Carpathians, Slovakia)

Abstrakt

The Snežnica, 50 m long, section is situated in Pieniny Klippen Belt (PKB, Outer Western Carpathians, Northwest Slovakia) and is composed of Mesozoic hemipelagic limestones. The lithology is gradually changing from ammonitico rosso in Jurassic part into maiolica in the Creaceous.

Fresh, non-weathered,rocks are exposed in the studied section in a newly abandoned quarry.
