“…Biradiolites lombricalis has been recorded from Cenomanian of Italy, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Slovenia, Greece and Bulgaria (Steuber and Löser, 2000;Steuber, 2002). D. lombricalis was identified in Turonian of Abu Roash (Douvillé , 1913) in N Sinai (Salama et al, 2016), Tunisia (Pervinquiè re, 1912), Lebanon (Douvillé , 1910), France (Toucas, 1908;Macé -Bordy, 2007), Guatemala (Scott, 1995) and Croatia (Polšak et al, 1982).…”

“…After a long period of emergence (Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous), a carbonate platform evolved during the mid-Cretaceous period (Kuss, 1992;Bachmann et al, 2003;Abdel-Fattah et al 2018) and covered most of the Sinai region and adjacent areas (Simmons et al, 2007). The stratigraphy of the Lower and Upper Cretaceous succession in Sinai has been well described (Kuss, 1992;Bachmann and Kuss, 1998;Lüning et al, 1998;Bauer et al, 2001; al., 2003;Abu-Zied, 2008;Saber et al, 2009;Salama et al, 2016Salama et al, , 2018Abdelhady et al, 2019;Afify et al, 2019). In this research, the studied rudists were collected from Lower Cretaceous-Turonian sequences at four outcrops including the Raghawi, Yelleg, Minsherah, and Maaza sections in North Sinai (Fig.…”

“…Rudist bivalves (Molluska: Hippuritida) are a group of extinct Cretaceous marine invertebrate animals that thrived on the shallow carbonate platforms of the Tethyan region and adjacent areas (Chikhi-Aouimeur, 1983;Parnes 1987;Masse and Gallo Maresca, 1997;Masse et al, , 1998aBachmann et al, 2003;Cestari, 2008;Cestari et al, 2018;Frau et al, 2020;Sha et al, 2020). Rudist groups/colonies were common on the Cretaceous platform of northern Egypt (Douvillé , 1910;Steuber and Bachmann, 2002;El-Hedeny and El-Sabbagh, 2005;Saber et al, 2009;Salama et al, 2016Salama et al, , 2018Salama and Özer, 2019). Rudists attached themselves to the substrate by their right valves except for those of the Requieniidae, which were attached by their LVs (Skelton, 2013a, b;Skelton and Smith, 2000).…”

New well-preserved rudist materials come from the Barremian-Turonian marine formations in the Yelleg, Minsherah, Maaza, and Raghawi sections in North Sinai, northern Egypt. There, 17 discovered rudist species belonging to 13 genera and seven taxonomic families are described in detail as follows: Eoradiolites plicatus (Conrad), Eoradiolites liratus (Conrad), Praeradiolites ponsianus (ďArchiac), Archaeoradiolites sp., Bournonia africana Douvillé , Bournonia fourtaui Douvillé , Biradiolites lombricalis (ďOrbigny), Biradiolites zumoffeni Douvillé , Radiolites lewyi lewyi Parnes, Radiolites sauvagesi (ďHombres-Firmas), Durania arnaudi (Choffat), Toucasia carinata (Matheron), Toucasia sp., Neocaprina raghawiensis Steuber and Bachmann, Sellaea sp., Ichthyosarcolites sp. and Horoiopleura sp.. The Cenomanian deposits in the northern Eastern desert of Egypt only contain E. liratus. The domination of the Cenomanian rudist species in North Sinai, however, is attributed to changes in the platform, which passes mainly from carbonate in the north to siliciclastics in the south. The presence of Horiopleura sp. in the late Barremian-early Aptian deposits is documented for the first time, which suggests the expansion of taxa of the genus Horiopleura Douvillé to North Sinai during this interval. The age of the rudist species is documented from the late Barremian-Turonian formations, with their geographic distribution in the Mediterranean region considered..
