This paper presents the results of a comprehensive study of the Maastrichtian sequence of Mount Kyz-Kermen located in the Southwestern Crimea. The section consists of a rhythmically bedded carbonate sequence gradually replaced by carbonate sandstones. The study of rocks in thin sections made it possible to identify eight lithotypes, and the chemical analyses yielded variations in individual elements in the rock composition. The interpreted data on planktonic and benthic foraminifera made it poss
