Abstract

This paper describes a new Paleogene deep-water agglutinated foraminifera from the Contessa Highway Section of the Umbria-Marche Basin, Italy. Ammopemphix contessaensis n. sp. is characterized by its predominantly monothalamous test form with a hemispherical shape and terminal aperture at the dorsal surface of the test, often occurring in pseudocolonies. Our finding is the first report of the genus Ammopemphix Loeblich, 1952 from the Paleogene.
