N2 - A biostratigraphically complete and well-exposed sequence of Upper Cretaceous-Paleocene pelagic limestones at Gubbio, Italy, has provided a record of geomagnetic polarity reversals that closely matches the sequence inferred from marine magnetic anomalies. Abundant foraminifera permit accurate dating of the sequence. Because of these favorable circumstances, the Gubbio locality is formally proposed as the magnetostratigraphic type section for the Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene.
