Overview
The Maastrichtian-Thanetian Ncham Member of the Aurès Basin in northeastern Algeria contains variably lenticular microfossils, which are defined as Laffitteina genera. It is a large benthic foraminifera, studied from three stratigraphic sections. The systematic study of Laffitteina led identification of nine species, four of which, Laffitteina marsicana, L. aff. mengaudi, L. monodi and L. erki were recorded for the first time in the study area. Various species of Laffitteina were used as index fossils to recognize the K/Pg transition in the Aurès Basin. The last occurrence of L. oztuerki marks the end of the Maastrichtian, which was found in association with Omphalocyclus macroporus (Lamarck) in the upper Maastrichtian. The first occurrence of L. erki marks the Thanetian age, while the Danian and Selandian deposits are missing in the field after a general emersion in the early Paleocene, despite the absence of a visible non unconformity. It could therefore be proposed that the K/Pg transition may occurs in the last 10 m of the Ncham Member. Concerning the paleoenvironment, Laffitteina is considered as a resistant foraminifera and thrives in meso- to eutrophic environments (lagoon). Microfacies data from the Upper Cretaceous-Lower Paleogene limestones of the Aurès Basin suggests a carbonate platform with shallowing-up sequential organization, mainly controlled by fluctuations in sea-level. El Miembro Ncham del Maastrichtiano-Thanetiano de la cuenca de Aurés, en el noreste de Argelia, contiene especímenes variablemente lenticulares, que se definen como del género Laffitteina. Se trata de un gran foraminífero bentónico, estudiado a partir de tres secciones estratigráficas. El estudio sistemático de Laffitteina permitió identificar nueve especies, cuatro de las cuales, Laffitteina marsicana, L. aff. mengaudi, L. monodi y L. erki, se registraron por primera vez en la zona de estudio. Se utilizaron varias especies de Laffitteina como fósiles índice para reconocer la transición K/Pg en la cuenca de Aurés. La última aparición de L. oztuerki marca el final del Maastrichtiano, que se encontró en asociación con Omphalocyclus macroporus (Lamarck) en el Maastrichtiano superior. La primera aparición de L. erki marca la edad del Thanetiense, mientras que los depósitos del Daniano y del Selandiano faltan en el campo tras una emersión general en el Paleoceno temprano, a pesar de la ausencia de un hiato evidente. Por lo tanto, se podría proponer que la transición K/Pg se produce en los últimos 10 m del Miembro Ncham. En cuanto al paleoambiente, Laffitteina se considera un foraminífero resistente y prospera en ambientes de meso a eutróficos (laguna). Los datos de microfacies de las calizas del Cretácico Superior-Paleógeno Inferior de la cuenca de Aurés sugieren una plataforma carbonatada con una organización secuencial ascendente, controlada principalmente por las fluctuaciones del nivel del mar.
