%X The succession of chitinozoans in the East Baltic P ¨ªdol¨ª Series was studied in the Ohesaare, Ventspils D-3, Pavilosta and Dubovskoye (Northern-Gusevskaya 2) drill cores. Some differences in biozonal characteristics were observed between the shallower and deeper facies sections. The lower P ¨ªdoli Eisenackitina kerria¨CAncyrochitina tomentosa regional Biozone is described from the Ohesaare (Estonia) and Ventspils and Pavilosta (Latvia) cores and the Fungochitina kosovensis global Biozone from the Dubovskoye (Kaliningrad district) core. The middle P ¨ªdol¨ª Salopochitina filifera regional Biozone is represented in all studied sections. The upper P ¨ªdol¨ª Anthochitina superba global Biozone is described from the Ventspils core, correlating with the range interval of Margachitina sp. in the Dubovskoye core. In the uppermost P ¨ªdol¨ª the Ancyrochitina lemniscata regional Biozone is distinguished for the first time in the Ventspils and Dubovskoye cores. All biozones were correlated with regional strati-graphical units, as well as with conodont and vertebrate biozones in the Ventspils core.
