Abstract

Kastamonina abanica n.gen., n.sp., is a new complex conical lituolid foraminifer occurring in Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian-Portlandian) shallow marine deposits in the Kastamonu region of Northern Turkey. The new genus is characterized by the structural elements of its endoskeleton and exoskeleton which resemble those of Hauraniidae.
