The purpose of the present study is to record the planktic foraminiferal fauna present and to determine the Cenomanian- Turonian boundary based on the planktic foraminifera of the Karai – Kulakkalnattam Traverse of Uttattur Group, East coast of India. For this study one hundred ninety five sediment samples were systematically collected from the Karai – Kulakkalnattam traverse. Foraminifers were separated out by using standard micropaleontological techniques. Five Species of planktic foraminifera were identified and studied. In the present study area the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary (C/T) is placed in the upper most part of the Whiteinella archaeocratacea Partial range zone. The distribution of foraminifera and stratigraphic importance of this species are discussed.
