Popis: The biostratigraphy of the Outer Carpathians is based mainly on the ranges of agglutinated foraminifera. Species acmes provide the opportunity to enhance and support the existing biozonations. Assemblages of agglutinated foraminifera from the Campanian to Eocene of various tectonic-structural units were analyzed in terms of their qualitative and quantitative occurrence. In this stratigraphic interval, 19 species display significantly increased abundance within a relatively short interval: Caudammina gigantea (Geroch) (upper Santonian–lowermost Maastrichtian), Caudammina ovulum (Grzybowski) (Campanian–Danian), Placentammina placenta (Grzybowski)-Saccammina grzybowskii (Schubert) (upper Campanian–Danian), Caudammina excelsa (Dylążanka) (lowermost Maastrichtian–Danian), Caudammina ovuloides (Grzybowski) (Danian–Selandian), Hormosina velascoensis (Cushman) (upper Danian–Selandian), Praesphaerammina gerochi (Hanzlíková) (Thanetian), Glomospira charoides (Jones et Parker)-Glomospira gordialis (Jones et Parker) (uppermost Thanetian–lowermost Ypresian), Trochammina spp. (upper Thanetian–lower Ypresian), Reticulophragmium amplectens (Grzybowski) (Lutetian–Bartonian), Reophax duplex (Grzybowski)-Reophax “pilulifer” Brady group of taxa (Lutetian–Priabonian), Haplophragmoides walteri (Grzybowski)-Haplophragmoides nauticus Kender, Kaminski et Jones (Lutetian–Bartonian), Spiroplectammina spectabilis (Grzybowski) (Lutetian–Priabonian), “Ammodiscus” latus Grzybowski (Bartonian–Priabonian), Praesphaerammina subgaleata (Vašíček) (Lutetian–Bartonian). The biostratigraphic position and quantitative data of species with increased abundance are presented.
