• Resumen

  • Abundant benthonic and planktonic foraminiferal assemblages were recovered from the limestones of the Apollonia formation exposed on the northern escarpment of Jabal al Akhdar, to the south of Al-Hilal village.

    The planktonic faunas, which are indicative of the Middle Eocene are discussed and illustrated, and their worlwide stratigraphic value and distribution are indicated. A preliminary zonal subdivision of the Middle Eocene of the Al-Hilal area is also discussed.
