Three bore-hole cores (30–200 m long) from the latest Cretaceous chalk of southern Sweden (Limhamn area, Skåne) have been analyzed for planktic Foraminifera. The sequences are referable to the Upper Maastrichtian (Nephrolithus frequenscoccolith Zone). Planktic foraminiferal assemblages, mostly dominated byHeterohelix striataandGlobigerinelloides multispina, are of a typical high-latitude (Boreal) character.Rugoglobigerina rugosaand thePseudotextularia elegans-Racemiguembelina fructicosacomplex are occasionally abundant. TheP. elegans-R. fructicosacomplex is abundant in the uppermost parts of the sequences; this increase has been suggested by other workers to represent a climatically related migration from the Tethys. Other taxa are all rare (Hedbergella monmouthensis, Praeglobotruncana havanensis, Guembelitria cretacea, Heterohelix glabrans, Globigerinelloidessp., andGlobotruncanasp.). The proportions between the two dominating species,G. multispinaandH. striata, change systematically with time (towards increase inH. striata), and it is suggested that this represents a response to the shallowing of the Danish Embayment at the end of the Cretaceous reported by other workers. Four subzones are established within theH. striata-G. multispinaZone spanning the entire sequences: theR. rugosaSubzone II (lowermost), theR. rugosa-R. rugosaInterval-Subzone, theR. rugosaSubzone I, and theP. elegans-R. fructicosaSubzone (uppermost). TheR. rugosasubzones are distinguished by differentG. multispinal H. striataratios (> 1 in Subzone II and < 1 in Subzone I). TheP. elegans-R. fructicosaSubzone can be correlated with the latest MaastrichtianBelemnella casimirovensisbelemnite Zone, but the other subzones may be local.
