Benthic foraminifera were studied as part of an investigation of the Fortuna Section (Betic Cordillera, Southeastern Spain), undertaken to document a candidate section for the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Lutetian Stage (Ypresian/Lutetian boundary). Benthic foraminiferal assemblages in this section are mostly dominated by calcareous taxa (~50-96%) and by infaun...

The spatangoid genus Schizaster Agassiz is recorded, for the first time, from the Lutetian (Middle Eocene) deposits of Sargaz area, south of Kerman, Iran. The Lutetian sediments of Sargaz region contain a rich and divers echinoid fauna represented by Cidaridae, Conoclypeidae, Echinolampadidae, Toxopneustidae, Phymosomatidae and Schizasteridae. Schizasteroid echinoids are an important component ...

A diverse Eocene charophyte flora from a section at Gánt (Vértes Hills), Transdanubian Central Range, north-western Hungary, provides significant new information building on previous studies based only sub-surface data published the mid-twentieth century. This newly acquired material facilitates taxonomic revision and emendation of species Raskyella peckii thereby defines anagenetic lineage thr...

The first fossil of the staphylinine tribe Diochini Casey is described and figured from an inclusion in mid-Eocene (Lutetian) Baltic amber. Diochus electrussp. n. is distinguished from its congeners and the diversity of rove beetles (Staphylinidae s.l.) is summarized briefly.

A new species of the extinct bee genus Ctenoplectrella Cockerell (Megachilinae: Ctenoplectrellini) is described and figured from two females preserved in middle Eocene (Lutetian) Baltic amber. Ctenoplectrella phaetonsp. n. is distinguished from its congeners on the basis of its body proportions, integumental sculpturing, wing venation, and pubescence, and is one of the more distinctive members ...

A new fauna has been collected from a fissure filling named Cos in the Quercy region, southwestern France. It includes four primate species and plesiadapiform. The cercamoniine adapiform Protoadapis andrei Godinot Vidalenc, nov. sp., is represented by material that adds to our knowledge of genus for upper canine, molars other morphological details. appears more primitive than P. brachyrhynchus ...

Recovery of new decapod specimens from middle and late Eocene rocks of Pakistan prompted reevaluation of the known decapod fauna of the region. Specimens come from the Sulaiman Range in Balochistan, North-West Frontier, and Punjab provinces, and range temporally from the middle Lutetian through the Bartonian and possibly early Priabonian global marine ages. Proxicarpilius planifrons, Portunus s...

The biostratigraphy of the Outer Carpathians is based mainly on ranges agglutinated foraminifera. Species acmes provide opportunity to enhance and support existing biozonations. Assemblages foraminifera from Campanian Eocene various tectonic-structural units were analyzed in terms their qualitative quantitative occurrence. In this stratigraphic interval, 19 species display significantly increas...
