Foraminifera from the Quebradas Ocal and Bambucá, and from the Girardot-Melgar section of the Upper Magdalena Valley are reported. Planktic foraminifera recovered from a few samples allowed their age determination. In the Quebrada Ocal, three samples date early Albian, late Albian and in the

Santonian/Campanian transition. A sample from the Quebrada Bambucá is assigned to the early Albian.  Three samples from the Girardot-Melgar section are of late Campanian age, while other two bear Maastrichtian foraminifera. Taxonomical and chronological aspects of key species, especially those belonging to the genera Marginotruncana, Rugoglobigerina and Ticinella are discussed, as well as their occurrence in Colombia. Stratigraphic implications of the age assessments are addressed.

Se reportan foraminíferos obtenidos de las Quebradas Bambucá y Ocal y de la sección Girardot-Melgar en el Valle Superior del Magdalena. Foraminíferos planctónicos obtenidos de algunas muestras permiten la datación de las mismas. En la Quebrada Ocal, tres muestras pudieron ser datadas

como de edad Albiense temprano, Albiense tardío, y de una edad cercana al limite Santoniense/ Campaniense. Una muestra de la Quebrada Bambucá se asigna al Albiense temprano. De la sección Girardot-Melgar, tres muestras son del Campaniense tardío y otras dos del Maastrichtiense. Se discuten aspectos taxonómicos y cronológicos de especies con significado cronológico, especialmente de los géneros Marginotruncana, Rugoglobigerina y Ticinella, así como su ocurrencia en Colombia. Se señalan las implicaciones estratigráficas de las dataciones aquí presentadas.
