On the basis of the geological ranges of the Buchia and dinoflagellate cyst assemblages and their global correlation, two distinct biostratigraphical boundaries (event horizons) can be distinguished in the continu ous deposits spanning the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary in the Dong'anzhen Formation of Dong'an, Raohe County and the Dongrong Formation of boreholes SB86-11 and SB79-1 of Suibin, Suibin County of eastern Heilongjiang, northeasteren China (Fig. 1.). Level 1. The base of the Buchia fischeriana - Buchia unschensis assemblage is characterized by the occurrence of Buchia (e.g. B. unschensis) with inversoid ontogenetic growth of the right valve, and the absence of the underlying B. russiensis, one of the index species of the Buchia russiensis - Buchia fischeriana assemblage, with obliquoid ontogenetic growth of the right valve (Fig. 1, column 2b). The top of the dinoflagellate cyst Amphorula delicate assemblage underlies, but it is near this boundary (Fig. 1, column 2a). This level basically corresponds to the currently accepted Tethyan version of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary and the working base of the Cretaceous as recommended by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (www.stratigraphy.org) (Fig. 1, column 1), and approximately corresponds to the boundary between the Boreal Middle-Upper Volgian substages (Fig. 1, column 3). This is because the base of the Buchia unschensis Zone or the base of the Buchia fischeriana - Buchia unschensis assemblage nearly coincides with that of the Boreal Craspedites exoticus Subzone or Craspedites okensis ammonite Zone, which in turn correspond closely to the base of Tethyan Lower Berriasian Berriasella jacobi ammonite Zone (Fig. 1, column 1), which is the index ammonite zone of the Tethyan or the international chronostratigraphic base of Berriasian, and thus the base of the Cretaceous (Fig. 1, column 1). Level 2. The base of the Buchia volgensis - Buchia cf. subokensis - Buchia cf. okensis - Buchia unschensis assemblage, is characterized by those easy-to-recognize large-sized Buchia with inversoid ontogenetic growth of the right valve and even of the left valve, and absence of Buchia fischeriana (Fig. 1, column 2b). The base of the Oligosphaeridium pulcherrimum dinoflagellate cyst assemblage probably corresponds approximately to the base of this Buchia assemblage (Fig. 1, column 2a). This level is very near the Boreal version of the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary, which corresponds approximately to the base of the Tethyan middle part of Middle Berriasian. This is because the bases of both Buchia volgensis and Buchia cf. okensis in the assemblage of Buchia volgensis - Buchia cf. subokensis - Buchia cf. okensis - Buchia unschensis are closely coincident with the base of the upper Lower Berriasian Boreal Hectoroceras kochi Zone (Fig. 1, columns 2b, 3), and the Tethyan upper Berriasella privasensis Subzone of the Tirnovella occitanica Zone of the middle part Middle Berriasian, approximately corresponds to the middle of the Boreal Lower Berriasian Substage (Fig. 1, columns 1, 3).
