A foraminiferal assemblage as a bioevent marker of the main Ladinian transgressive stage in the Betic Cordillera, southern Spain

Similar involutinid foraminiferal assemblages occur in the upper Muschelkalk of the Iberian Ranges and Catalan Coastal Ranges, as well as in the upper part of the transgressive systems track of the UAA-2.2 third-order cycle identified in the Muschelkalk of the Pyrenees Basin. Thus, this foraminiferal assemblage can be considered as an extensive bioevent marker related to an important transgressive stage of Ladinian age.
