Jaime keeps mentioning the Cenomanian-Campanian boundary...apparently 
forgetting all about the intervening Turonian, Coniacian, and Santonian 
Stages.  Biostratigraphic correlations are utterly meaningless when based 
upon taxa that are not CONSPECIFIC.  Genera cannot be correlated, families 
cannot be correlated, ONLY species can be correlated.  Thus, correlating 
Asian and North American faunas is absolutely borad-brush unless the same 
species are being used.  Geochronology is your friend...do not be afraid of 
it.
