Abstract
The present paper aims to highlight the paleontology, stratigraphy paleogeography, paleoecology and biogeography of the 119 Maastrichtian-early Paleogene calcareous benthic foraminiferal species and subspecies which were originally erected by many authors from six Middle East countries (Maps 1 & 2): (1) Egypt: Nakkady,1-3 LeRoy,4 Said & Kenawy,5 Abdou & Abdel Kireem,6 Anan,7‒27 Aly et al.,28 (2) Jordan: Futyan,29 (3) Saudi Arabia: Hasson30 (4) Qatar: Hewaidy & Al-Hitmi31 (5) UAE: Anan32‒37 and (6) Pakistan: Haque,38‒40 Nomura & Brohi,41 and many studies are recorded some of these taxa in a wider geographic areas in the Tethys, from Atlantic to Indian Oceans via Mediterranean (Map 3).
