Abstract
The Paleogene sediments of the Republic of Macedonia
contain diverse benthic foraminiferal microfauna
(geological sketch-map with the distribution of the
Paleogene sedimentary basins and the locations of the
studied sections containing foraminifers were recently
published by Stojanova et al., 2013). A total of 65
species have been recorded and described previously
(Džuranov et al., 1999; Valchev et al., 2013a, b). This
high taxonomic diversity led us to do the first step
for estimating the paleoecological significance of the
foraminiferal assemblages – a definition of groups of
tests based on characteristic features of their morphology.
On the basis of test shape (i) and the nature of
test coiling (i.e. chamber addition) (ii), we defined and
illustrated 11 morphological groups (morphogroups or
morphotypes) (see Fig. 1).
