Historical definitions of stages are inadequate for the standards of precision in stratigraphy now required. The base of the Cenomanian is best defined by the base of the Zone of Hypoturri/ites schneegansi with a boundary-stratotype north of Djebel Hameima in Tunisia. The Lower Cenomanian Graysonites fauna is Tethyan and probably failed to migrate to boreal regions. The base of the Turonian is best defined by the appearance of the main development of the inoceramid Mytiloides as represented by M. opa/ensis Kauffman non Bose. This coincides with the base of the ammonite Zone of Pseudaspidoceras flexuosum. Possible localities for the boundary-stratotype are in south-west Texas; the most suitable is probably in Calvert Canyon.
