  This study is the first one on accurate identification of the planktonic foraminiferal biozones of the Duwi Formation and no similar study was carried out before. About 70 m thick complete succession of Coniacian-Late Campanian of the Duwi Formation at Gabal Duwi Range, Red Sea Coast, were completely examined and the following biozones have been recognized and correlated to the world bioevent; Dicarinella concavata Zone (Coniacian), Dicarinella asymetrica Zone (Santonian), where the two zones are correlated to the Coniacian–Santonian time interval of Oceanic Anoxic Event 3 (OAE 3), Globotruncanita elevate Zone (Early Campanian), which correlated to the Santonian/Campanian Boundary Event (SCBE), Contusotruncana plummerae Zone (Middle Campanian) which correlated with the Mid Campanian Event (MCE), Radotruncana calcarata..
