Abstract
A COLLECTION of platy limestone of either latest Ladinian or earliest Carnian age, as determined by mega-fossils from Makhtesh Ramon, southern Israel, on treatment with acetic acid for ostracode investigations1, yielded both conodonts and Foraminifera. Preliminary examination disclosed one genus each in the conodont families Polygnathidae and Coleodontidae, and representatives of the foraminiferal families Reophacidae and Nodosariidae. This is the first record of Triassic conodonts and Foraminifera in Israel.
