The Suvlu-Kaya section (Crimea) is historically considered as a reference section for the European mid-latitude Thanetian and Ypresian. The Ypresian (calcareous nannofossil Zones NP10 to NP13) comprises mid-neritic clays and marls, overlain by inner neritic limestones. This integrated multidisciplinary study, including dinoflagellate cysts (first record and full illustration), calcareous nannofossils, foraminifera, depositional environments and sequence stratigraphy, reinforces its status as a r
