. Diameter: 0,35 mm Occurrence : Some specimens of this species are found in sample no. 8 (

G. uncinata zone) Taramsa section. Stratigraphie range: G. mckannai was first described by WHITE (1928) from the upper Cretaceous of the Velasco formation of Mexico. BOLLI (1957) recorded this species from the upper part of G. pseudomenardii zone, Lizard Springs formation, Trinidad. LOEBLICH & TAPPAN (1957) found this species in the Paleocene of the Velaconshale

, Mexico, the Salt Mountain limestone, near Clarke County Alabama, and Vincent own formation, New Jersey. This species was also described by BOLLI & CITA (i960) from the Paleocene of Paderno d'Adda In northern Italy. In Egypt, this species was recorded from the Paleocene of many localities in Sinai, (SAID & KENAWY

, 1956); in Kharga Oasis, Western Desert (NAKKADY, 1959); Gebel Aweina, Nile Valley (SAID & SABRY, 1964) and in Esna - Idfu region, Nile Valley (EL NAGGAR, I960). Remarks : Some authors consider G. mckannai (WHITE) as Globige rina according to the position of the aperture. In our specimens the aperture is typical for genus Globorotalia
