The Middle-Upper Eocene benthic foraminifera from north-west Fayoum area, Egypt: Paleoecology and their similarity to the Tethyan provinces
This study deals with the Middle–Late Eocene benthic foraminiferal assemblage from the
Um Rigl succession that is exposed in the northwest of Fayoum area, Egypt.
Stratigraphically, two rock units are recognized from base to top as the Gehannam
Formation and Birket Qarun Formation. The examination of benthic foraminiferal community
identifies 63 species belonging to 36 genera, 22 families and four suborders. Their
distribution aids to recognize one benthic foraminiferal biozone, Bulimina jacksonensis …
