A small section of the Perapedhi Formation in Akamas Peninsula (west of Cyprus) is comprised of umbers with intercalating layer or concretions of radiolarian cherts, which yield abundant and well-preserved Upper Cretaceous (Coniacian) radiolarian assemblage. Therefore, the previous conclusion indicating a Campanian age for the Perapedhi Formation at this locality, should be reconsidered. The age of the basal horizons of the Perapedhi Formation can vary from late Turonian to Coniacian or Santonian, an indication of the diachronous character of the lower boundary of the formation.

塞浦路斯阿卡马斯半岛 Perapedhi 地层晚白垩世（康尼亚纪）时代

Akamas 半岛（塞浦路斯西部）的 Perapedhi 组的一小部分由带有插入层或放射虫燧石结核的棕岩组成，产生丰富且保存完好的上白垩统（Coniacian）放射虫组合。因此，应该重新考虑先前表明该地区 Perapedhi 组为坎帕尼亚时代的结论。Perapedhi 地层基底层位的年龄可以从晚Turonian 到Coniacian 或Santonian 不等，这表明地层下边界的历时特征。
