Abstract
⺠An expanded and nearly continuous Upper Cretaceous succession is confirmed in southern Tanzania. ⺠Facies analysis indicates outer shelf-upper slope settings in a subtropical-tropical continental margin. ⺠Shell preservation of calcareous microfossils is often good to excellent. ⺠A positive shift in bulk carbonate δ18O appears to reflect Late Cretaceous global cooling. ⺠Ongoing works will help understand Late Cretaceous biodiversity and climate dynamics.
