Abstract

Twelve benthic foraminiferal species and subspecies are identified from the Paleocene succession (Dakhla Shale, Tarawan Chalk, Esna Shale formations) of Jabal Duwi, Qusseir area, Red Sea coast. Six species belong to the genus Frondicularia, three species to Palmula, one species each to Tristix and Neoflabellina. Three species are new: Frondicularia bignoti, Tristix auberti and Palmula salimi. The identified taxa are located in the tropical-subtropical provinces. (Lat. 45 N - 30 S).
