| Summary: | The Palynology of two sections recovered during Leg 93 drilling by the Deep Sea Drilling Project in the continental rise along the western margin of the North Atlantic is reported. In Hole 603B at Site 603, the dinoflagellate stratigraphy indicates that the interval from Cores 603B-82 to 603B-26 ranges in age from late Berriasian to Santonian. The BlakeBahama Formation ranges from late Berriasian to Aptian. The Hatteras Formation ranges from Aptian to Cenomanian, although the uppermost part may be Turonian. Dinoflagellate evidence from the middle part of the Plantagenet Formation indicates an age from late Coniacian or early Santonian to Santonian within the interval of Cores 603B-28 to 603B-26. Magnetic polarity evidence of the stratigraphy of the Early Cretaceous for the western North Atlantic indicates a reliable correlation with the dinoflagellate zonation.The stratigraphic sequence of palynologically defined organic facies in carbonaceous claystone lithologies in Hole 603B shows that organic ... : Supplement to: Habib, Daniel; Drugg, Warren S (1987): Palynology of Sites 603 and 605, Leg 93, Deep Sea Drilling Project.
