Description (Dublin Core)
<div>The nodular limestones exposed at the basal part of the Gebel Hafit</div><div>(United Arab Emirates) represent a truncation surface, between the</div><div>Rus and the Middle Eocene Dammam Formation (Mibazara Member).</div><div>Somalina praestefaninii n.sp. is a new large foraminiferal species</div><div>separated from the Mibazara member. It is believed that Somalina</div><div>praestefaninii n.sp. is the ancestral form of Somalina stefaninii</div><div>Silvestri as it is smaller and has a more simple protoconch.
