Abstract The study of planktonic foraminifera from the Lower Cretaceous succession along the Rio Argos (Caravaca, southern Spain) revealed that this group started to diversify much earlier than previously thought. Direct correlation with ammonites shows that, after the first diversification in the early Valanginian, planktonic foraminifera increased remarkably in abundance and number of species at the beginning of the Barremian. More than 10 species occur in the upper Barremian part of the section. The evolutionary appearance of several taxa is shown to have occurred earlier than previously recorded. In particular, the genus Globigerinelloides appeared in the late Valanginian ( G. gottisi ), with G. blowi and G. aptiense first occurring in the early late Barremian, when all Globigerinelloides registered an acme. Hedbergella similis, H. kuznetsovae , and the clavihedbergellids appeared in the early Barremian, followed by a new diversification in the early Aptian. Based on these observations, a new zonation is proposed.
