DISTRIBUTION OF SOME CAMPANIAN AND MAASTRICHTIAN MACROFAUNAS IN SOUTHEAST SPAIN

The distribution of Campanian-Maastrichtian species of inoceramids, am monites, echinoids and brachiopods is given for 23 fossil sites in the Internal Prebetic and Intermediate Units of the Betic Range in Alican te province, southeast Spain. Six main units (1-6) are recognized in t he stratigraphical sections used as a reference to correlate the fossi l sites of the Internal Prebetic. Four different lithologies (A-D) are distinguished in the Quipar-Jorquera Formation, the only unit surveye d in the Late Cretaceous outcrops of the Intermediate Units. 57 inocer amid, 8 ammonite, 15 echinoid and 2 brachiopod taxa have been identifi ed and are listed in a table indicating the relative positions of thei r appearances at each locality. Some biostratigraphical and palaeobiog eographical observations are made on the identified species of inocera mids, ammonites and echinoids.
