Abstract
Paleontological study of the Upper Cretaceous sediments from wells 502 and 28 in the Volgograd region revealed distinct radiolarian and foraminiferal assemblages. Two stratigraphic levels, Coniacian-Santonian and upper Campan ian, are recognized on the basis of radiolarians. Foraminiferal and radiola rian zones of the same section are first correlated to each other in the Vo lgograd region, and coeval assemblages from the Moscow syneclise and Volgog rad region are compared.
