Extra details from original publication
This variety seems to be best developed high in the shales where it replaces G. cretacea. It is flooding to abundant in the top shale and lower Eocene samples of Abu Durba, restricted to the lower Eocene (abundant to frequent) at Wadi Danili, but appears at a lower zone at Gebel Duwi, where it becomes a flooding form only higher in the shales and extends to the lower Eocene. In the Luxor section, which represents a slightly higher zone than the other sections, it is flooding in almost all samples
