Abstract

A rich protoglobigerinid fauna was studied from the Tithonian limestones of Paprét-árok, Gerecse Mts, Hungary. The early planktonic foraminifera association was investigated in thin section and in isolated specimens as well, extracted using acetic acid treatment of rocks. This homogeneous, presumably monospecific protoglobigerinid fauna shows transitional characters between Globuligerina oxfordiana (GRIGELIS, 1958) and Favusella hoterivica (SUBBOTINA, 1953). An overview of Tithonian protoglobigerinids are given, which reveals, that the studied locality is the third one in the Tethyan Realm from where isolated Tithonian forms are figured.
