Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 33: 65-98, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2016.33.65, URL: https://doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2016.33.65 Abstract – The Cenozoic Mollusc Collection of the Naturalis Biodiversity Center (NBC) contains several Pliocene and some Pleistocene brachiopods from the Mediterranean (5 Italian localities), and from the North Sea Basin (2 English localities, 1 French locality, 4 Dutch localities). The studied samples altogether yielded more than 1000, mostly fragmentary specimens (8 genera, 8 species). The Italian Pliocene (and Pleistocene) assemblage is dominated by large terebratulids (Terebratula ampulla), while rhynchonellids (Aphelesia bipartita) and cancellothyridids (Terebratulina retusa) are rare. The Coralline Crag samples of England are characterized by large terebratulids (Pliothyrina sowerbyana) and lingulids (Glottidia dumortieri), the zeilleriid Macandrevia cranium is …
