End-Cretaceous to middle Eocene events from the Alpine Tethys: Multi-proxy data from a reference section at Kršteňany (Western Carpathians)

Early Paleogene events of the Alpine Tethys were considerably upgraded for the Western Carpathians. The Kršteňany KRS-3 core section provides high-resolution data from the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K/Pg) transition to Lutetian/Bartonian boundary. The Upper Cretaceous sequence started from terrestrial red-beds superposed by transgressive sediments with Abathomphalus mayaroensis. The K/Pg transition is inferred in a horizon with reworked Maastrichtian...
