Remarks:
This species has been described by
Farinacci and Köylüoğlu (1985)
from the upper Maastrichtian of SW
Turkey
. The type-locality belongs to the Bey Dağlari Autochthon, part of the Western Taurides (see
Sarı et al., 2009
).
Farinacci and Köylüoğlu (1985)
assigned
Antalyna
to the family
Nezzazatidae Hamaoui
& Saint- Marc (agglutinating wall) and notwithstandingly to the superfamily
Miliolacea Ehrenberg
(porcellaneous wall).
A. korayi
is not rather frequent in the Iranian Tarbur Formation (
Fig. 3
p-t). It has a low trochospirally coiled test with angular periphery, and a shallow delicate subepidermal meshwork (with "partitions" of equal length).
