Abstract The invertebrate macrofauna of the Upper Eocene succession at Beni-Suef-Zaafarana Road, North Eastern Desert of Egypt, has been collected for systematic and paleobiogeographical studies from Beni-Suef and Maadi formations. The successions revealed abundant macrofaunal groups with 97 species. Among these species’ groups, 57 gastropods species belonging to 26 families, followed by 27 bivalve species belonging to 12 families, 3 cephalopod species with 2 families, one scaphopod species and only one echinoid species were identified. Eight coral species are recorded and studied here for the first time from the Eocene rocks of Egypt. The paleobiogeographic distribution of the studied cephalopod species and the coral groups are presented and discussed in this work.

埃及东北部沙漠 Beni-Suef-Zaafrana 公路上始新世序列的宏观古生物学和古生物地理学研究

摘要 收集了埃及东北部沙漠 Beni-Suef-Zaafarana 路上始新世序列的大型无脊椎动物，用于 Beni-Suef 和 Maadi 地层的系统和古生物地理研究。演替揭示了丰富的大型动物群，有 97 个物种。在这些物种群中，共鉴定出腹足类动物26科57种，其次是双壳类动物12科27种，头足类动物2科3种，舟足类动物1种，仅棘足类动物1种。这里首次记录和研究了埃及始新世岩石中的八种珊瑚。在这项工作中介绍和讨论了所研究的头足类动物物种和珊瑚群的古生物地理分布。
