Site 1262 in the South Atlantic Ocean has provided a stratigraphically continuous deep Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary sequence. High resolution calcareous nannofossil quantitative analyses were carried out across the K/P boundary, and provided a remarkable record of the abrupt and catastrophic extinc...
