“…The present species is not arched as Biradiolites zumoffeni and Bournonia fourtaui, but exhibits similar external features and morphology as Radiolites species. Cestari et al (2018) revised the taxonomy of the genus Distefanella, and emphasized that the outer shell layer of this genus is compact. Biradiolites lombricalis has been recorded from Cenomanian of Italy, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Slovenia, Greece and Bulgaria (Steuber and Löser, 2000;Steuber, 2002).…”

“…The inner layer is almost recrystallized and filled by sparry calcite. The outer layer in most taxa of the Radiolitidae has a cellular prismatic structure, but few genera have compact outer shell layer (Cestari and Sartorio, 1995;Rao et al, 2015Rao et al, , 2017Cestari et al, 2018). Masse et al (2007) demonstrated that the internal structure of the radial bands provides evidence for distinguishing and identifying Praeradiolites and Eoradiolites.…”

“…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).…”

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..

“…No further paleobiogeographic consideration can be done regarding the rudist assemblages described by WEN et al (1998WEN et al ( , 2000aWEN et al ( , 2000b, being only generic determinations of cosmopolitan genera, except for Rhedensia, which is not a valid genus according to STEUBER et al (2016) and Distefanella, which is a radiolitid with an extremely elongate shell whose occurrence is limited to the central Mediterranean Tethys (CESTARI et al, 2018).…”
