Combined stratigraphic studies based on foraminifers, radiolarians and palynomorphs together with microfacies and palynofacies characteristics allowed us to separate the Lower Turonian sediments corresponding to the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary event from the Lower-Middle Jurassic black facies in a strongly tectonised section of the Czorsztyn Succession in the Pieniny Klippen Belt, Poland. The studied section, located at Trawne creek, includes tectonised incompetent series of black marly facies and pink, cherry-red marls and marly limestones. The Cenomanian/Turonian boundary event deposits (ca. 0.5 m thick) belong to the upper part of the Altana Shale Bed of the Jaworki Formation with uncertain transition to the pelagic pink and cherry-red marly limestones and marls. Both facies represent the Helvetoglobotruncana helvetica planktonic foraminiferal Zone (Lower-Middle Turonian). The other black facies in the studied section include dark-grey marly shales with dark-grey calcareous mudstone (ca. 1.5 m of total thickness). These sediments most likely belong to the Skrzypny Shale Formation. This is documented by the filament-radiolarian microfacies, dinocyst and radiolarian stratigraphic data. An Early Bajocian age was determined only for one thin package of dark-grey shale. Other packages of black facies include long-ranging dinocyst taxa of Late Pliens- bachian-Early Bathonian age. Following the earlier stratigraphic data for the Skrzypny Shale Formation (Middle Aalenian-Lower Bajocian), based on ammonite fauna, it may be suggested that a part of these black facies might represent the underlying lithostratigraphic unit, the Krempachy Marl Formation, or its transition to the Skrzypny Shale Formation. Pelagic cherry-red marls and marly limestones which in most cases are in tectonic contact with the black facies are here also strongly tectonised. They represent different, non-continuous stratigraphic horizons of the Lower-Middle Turonian and the Lower Campanian.
