The results of the study of Turon-Coniacian foraminifers deposits sections of the Northern outskirts of Donbas (Berezovsky quarry, Luhansk region and Cherkas’ke urban village, Donetsk region). Early Turonian, Medium-Late Turonian, Early Coniacian and Medium-Late Coniacian complexes of foraminifers were defined. Fіve foraminiferal zones – Gavelinella nana, Gavelinella ammonoides, Gavelinella moniliformis s. str., Gavelinella kelleri, Gavelinella costulata were identified. Comparison of stratigraphic Turon-Coniacian-age spread of foraminifers Northern outskirts of Donbas spread of species of the same age deposits adjacent areas and International stratigraphic scale was conducted (2008).
