Resumen de Middle Eocene planktonic Foraminifera from the Northern Escarpment of Jabal al Akhdar, North Eastern Libya
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.
