%X This paper presents the first detailed biostratigraphic analysis of the uppermost Santonian through uppermost Maastrichtianhemipelagic carbonate successions of south-east Spain based mainly on the stratigraphic distributions of planktic foraminifera. Forthe time interval studied, seven biozones of planktic foraminifera have been recognized. From oldest to youngest these are: theuppermost part of the Dicarinella asymetrica Zone, and the Globotruncanita elevata, Globotruncana ventricosa, Globotruncanitacalcarata, Globotruncana falsostuarti, Gansserina gansseri and Abathomphalus mayaroensis zones. The biostratigraphic successionobtained from the sections studied in the Prebetic area is compared with those from sections in Tercis (France) and Kalaat Senan(Tunisia).
