Abstract
A Late Cretaceous magnetostratigraphy was determined from a paleomagnetic study of a thick sequence of pelagic carbonates recovered during drilling at Site 516. The observed Santonian through Maestrichtian magnetozones were satisfactorily correlated to those already established from the classic section of the Umbrian Apennines at Gubbio. There was limited evidence from Site 516 of a possible geomagnetic fluctuation immediately after the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary event. -Authors
