Dear colleagues, can anybody help me in the foraminifera genera or species identification? never seeing anything like this one. I suppose it is Nonion sp.
Это скорее всего NONION sp., но не в местонахождении in situ. Такие гранулированные формы появляются в майкопской серии. Посмотрите работы А.К.Богдановича. Желаю успехов. Э.М.Б.
I think it's a Protelphidium, possibly P. hofkeri Haynes 1956 from the Thanetian of England.

thanks a lot for references - i found the Banner & Culver, 1978 is very interesting for me. I couldn't found the Haynes, 1956 and i dont't have the Ellis&Messina access unfortunately.
