Golden Spike Ceremony for the CAMPANIAN GSSP

The Golden Spike Ceremony of the CAMPANIAN GSSP (Golden Stratotype Sections and Points) was held on Wednesday 26 July at the Gola del Bottaccione (Gubbio). The "Golden Spike" ("Golden Nail") represents the physical expression of the boundary between Santonian and Campanian, dated 83.6 million years ago. This is a scientific recognition of international value, which makes Bottaccione one of the 100 most important geosites in the world.
