Abstract
The results of biostratigraphic investigations of the Turonian-Coniacian deposits, which are widespread in the eastern Perithetys, are presented. Despite the well-studied nature of these deposits, the issues of stratigraphic subdivision remain insufficiently understanded. The issues of changing foraminifera assemblages in this interval and their significance in the zonal subdivision are considered.
