Abstract
Abstract. The macrofauna of three Upper Cretaceous sections from Sinai (Gebel Ekma-
southern Sinai, East Themed area-east Central Sinai, and Gebel Yelleg-northern Sinai) is
described and figured in detail. The fossils, ranging in age from the Late Albian to the
Maastrichtian, comprise 172 taxa (89 bivalves, 36 gastropods, 15 cephalopods, and 32
echinoids). Four of these taxa are new; the Upper Cenomanian Brachidontes blanckenhorni,
the Lower Turonian Pseudoptera themedensis, and the Upper Cenomanian Linearia ...
