Abstract
⺠The palynological assemblages (pollen/spores and dinocyst) from three Cenomanian-Turonian sections from the Castilian Platform are described. âºDinocyst assemblages show significant differences according to their relative palaeogeographical locations.⺠Xenascus ceratioides, Cribroperidinium exilicristatum, Canningia reticulata and Kallosphaeridium? ringnesiorum show inner neritic preferences. ⺠Palaeohystrichophora infusorioides, Spiniferites spp., Odontochitina spp., Trichodinium castanea and Impletosphaeridium polytrichum show outer neritic preferences.⺠In the Castilian Platform, the Cenomanian-Turonian Boundary Event (CTBE) may be manifested by a higher proportion of Cyclonephelium spp. in the distal dinocyst assemblages.
