72519727956D9B5EB55AFE5060B1CAF3.taxon	discussion	Notes – G. dumortieri was originally described as Lingula from the Pliocene of Belgium by NYST (1843), and later several authors used this generic assumption (e. g. WOOD 1872; DAVIDSON 1874; VINCENT 1893; BARCZYK & POPIEL-BARCZYK 1977). However, CHUANG (1964) recognised that this species should be assigned to the genus Glottidia. Glottidia differs from Lingula mainly in the possession of two divergent internal septa in the pedicle valve and a single centrally placed septum in the brachial valve. CHUANG (1964) illustrated only some specimens available for him with poor quality drawings. The high quality SEM photos of NBC material (Figs 6 – 10) confirm that Miocene lingulides of the North Sea Basin belong to genus Glottidia. Although Lingula sp. was mentioned several times even recently in the literature, the only confirmed lingulide brachiopod is Glottidia from this area. Although this species is abundant in some NBC samples, the taphonomic potential of lingulides is very low. Their thin and fragile shells disappear from the sediment within 2 – 3 weeks in recent environments (EMIG 1990). Most of the studied specimens are also rather fragmentary, but some samples contain also well-preserved, sometimes even double valved Glottidia. This preservation refers to autochthonous fossilisation without significant transportation. In Beugen drill-hole samples these are the dominant fossils. Drilling predation is insignificant on the Glottidia specimens living burrowed in the sediment (1 out of 2041 specimens in Beugen, 64 – 65 m sample, and 1 out of 905 specimens in Beugen, 65 – 66 m sample).	en	Dulai, A.

The Ε Nd data of the lindulide samples support an inflow of Atlantic Ocean water to the North Sea. The North Sea Glottidia population has average δ 18 O PO 4 values that are 2 – 2.5 % higher than those in the Paratethys, suggestive of colder and constant habitat temperatures for the Mio-Pliocene brachiopods of the North Sea Basin (KOCSIS et al. 2012).	en	Dulai, A.

At first, the discinide specimens of the Coralline Crag at Sutton (Great Britain) were doubtfully regarded as possibly conspecific with recent Orbicula lamellosa by DAVIDSON (1852). However, later it was separated as a distinct species, D. fallens by WOOD (1872). BOSQUET (1862) described Discina suessi from the Elsloo Conglomerate (Elsloo, the Netherlands). Later it was mentioned erroneously as Discina Nysti by DAVIDSON (1874) and THOMSON (1927). On the figures of the classical papers D. suessi has rectangular, slightly trapezoidal outline and cranioid-type internal structure (BOSQUET 1862: figs 1 – 5; DAVIDSON 1874: Pl. 7, figs 4 – 5). Recently, RADWAŃSKA & RADWAŃSKI (2003) revised Bosquet’s discinide material, and described a new species, Discinisca elslooensis, as the species name suessi was preoccupied. D. elslooensis is medium-sized, quadrangular, thick-walled, and lowconical with subposterior-posterior apex and almost devoid of ornamentation (RADWAŃSKA & RADWAŃSKI 2003). The relatively numerous discinide brachiopods in NBC collection, derived from the southern part of the North Sea Basin and from the Atlantic locality of Cacela Velha are characterised by rounded, smooth dorsal valve and ornamented only by concentrical growth lines. All of these specimens can be attributed to D. fallens, originally described from the northern part of the North Sea Basin. The available dorsal valves are small-sized, more or less circular, thin-walled, conical with central-subcentral apex and well-visible growth lines (Figs 15 – 24). Drilling predation on D. fallens specimens is very limited, especially as compared to Discradisca multiradiata from Amberre (Atlantic Ocean, France). In the Haamstede material 1 out of 7 specimens was drilled near to the apex in 132 – 144 m sample and 1 out of 230 specimens in 144 – 147 m sample (see Figs 16 – 18). This is the first known record of D. fallens from the Miocene of Portugal and the Miocene of the Atlantic Ocean. Geochemical composition of Dutch Miocene Discinisca (Haamstede) was discussed by KOCSIS et al. (2012). See comments at the notes of Glottidia dumortieri.	en	Dulai, A.

The French Atlantic Miocene discinide material in the NBC collection is relatively numerous, but contains only dorsal valves. The thin and low conical valves are ornamented by numerous (100 – 120) fine radial ribs. The position of the apex is variable between subcentral and subposterior. In the interior side the muscle scar area stretches from the adapical region towards the posterior part, and the anterior adductor scars slightly overlap the apex (Figs 29, 32). The anterior adductor scars are relatively small and narrow. The species name multiradiata was first used by DOLLFUS & DAUTZENBERG (1901) for the small French Miocene specimens with numerous radial ribs (faluns of Touraine), but their short description did not contain any illustrations. Therefore, according to the ICZN rules this name was a nomen nudum until the adequate description by DE MORGAN (1915) (see also RADWAŃSKA & RADWAŃSKI 1984). Both DOLLFUS & DAUTZENBERG (1901) and DE MORGAN (1915) mentioned the striking similarity between the Miocene D. multistriata and the recent D. stella (size, general form, ornamentation). However, they are different in the number of ribs and the elevation of the apex.	en	Dulai, A.

7251972795699B44B51EFE5060FBCC4D.taxon	description	Drilling predation has a very long history (KOWALEWSKI et al. 1998), but Neogene discinide brachiopods were very rarely recorded as victims of gastropod attacks. LESPORT & CAHUZAC (2005) illustrated a drilled discinide specimen without specific identification (although they realised the affinity of its outer ornamentation to D. multiradiata and the Late Oligocene D. steiningeri described by RADWAŃSKA & RADWAŃSKI 1989). Their material is derived from the Lower Burdigalian layers from Martillac (Northern Aquitaine, SW France). The shallow marine Mactra sand yielded a very rich benthic assemblage including a discinide brachiopod. Drilling predation of naticid gastropods was rather frequent here on different bivalve species, and the only discinide brachiopod was also affected (LESPORT & CAHUZAC 2005: Plate 3, fig. 1). An intense drilling predation was reported from here on the basis of a larger material by BITNER & CAHUZAC (2013): 12 % of the specimens were affected in the Early Miocene assemblage of Martillac. Additionally to these French records, just recently has been found a drilled D. polonica Radwańska et Radwański, 1984 specimen from the Middle Miocene of the Central Paratethys (Poland) (DULAI submitted). In some earlier papers RADWAŃSKA & RADWAŃSKI (1984, 1989) have studied relatively extensive collections of D. polonica (a few dozens of dorsal valves) and D. steiningeri (about 70 specimens) from the Central Paratethys, but they did not mention gastropod drill holes on their discinide brachiopods. The studied Middle Miocene material from Amberre confirms that French Miocene discinide brachiopods were frequent preys of drilling gastropods (Figs 25, 28, 31, 33, 35 – 36). Eight out of 34 specimens bear drill holes of predatory gastropods (23.5 %). This drilling frequency is very high not only in discinides, but generally in Neogene brachiopods. The average drilling predation is 2 – 4 % (e. g. DULAI 2007; TADDEI RUGGIERO & BITNER 2008) and higher values up to 39 % are exceptional (e. g. BAUMILLER & BITNER 2004; HARPER 2005; BAUMILLER et al. 2006). Bryozoan epibionts are also common on D. multiradiata specimens. Nine out of 34 specimens bear encrusting Bryozoa, which are always situated on the external side of the dorsal valves and sometimes cover nearly the entire external surface of the valve (Fig. 27). It may suggest that bryozoan larvae settled on the living brachiopods attached to the hard surfaces of shallow marine environments. Geochemical composition of French Miocene discinides was discussed by KOCSIS et al. (2012). The δ 18 O PO 4 values of brachiopods from the Middle Miocene of Western France are similar to that of analyzed from the Central Paratethys indicating comparable temperature regime, but the seawater Ε Nd value here is identical to that of the contemporaneous Atlantic Ocean (KOCSIS et al. 2012).	en	Dulai, A.

It is the first record of this species from the Miocene of the Atlantic Ocean.

Cryptopora lovisati was first described from the Miocene of Sardinia by DREGER (1911), but later it was also identified from the Middle Miocene of the Polish Central Paratethys (POPIEL-BARCZYK & BARCZYK 1990; but not POPIEL-BARCZYK 1980: see at notes of C. nysti) and from the Middle Miocene sandy deposits of France (BITNER & CAHUZAC 2004). WIENRICH (1999) mentioned Cryptopora sp. from the Middle Miocene of NW Germany, which later was identified as C. lovisati by BITNER & CAHUZAC (2004). Just recently it was also recognised in the Late Miocene of Italy (DULAI 2010 a). This is the first record of C. lovisati from the Netherlands, and the several localities suggest that it was a common member of the Miocene brachiopod fauna in the North Sea Basin. Until now, it was probably overlooked because of the small size and the very fragmentary character of the shell. The only internal mould from Melpignano shows several microbioerosional trace fossils caused by fungi or cyanobacteria (pers. comm. Árpád Dávid) (Figs 42 – 44). Microbioerosional traces are common in the Neogene, but generally were described from mollusc shells, not from brachiopods. The outline of the shell is much more variable than in the case of Italian Late Miocene material (DULAI 2010 a). The shell shape changes from elongate oval (Figs 45, 50) to rounded triangular (Fig. 53) or subcircular (Figs 46, 48, 52). The beak is high, while the large, deltoidal foramen is hypothyrid. The deltidial plates are disjunct and strongly auriculate: gradually widening, forming a wing-like structure (Fig. 49). This characteristic modification makes the species easily distinguishable from the other European Miocene species, Cryptopora nysti. On the basis of recent analogies (CURRY 1983) the wing-like modifications prevent- ed the sinking of the shell’s posterior margin into the soft sandy sediment. The median septum of the dorsal valve is short but very high approximately at the middle of the valve. The mosaic-forming secondary layer fibres are well visible on the inner surface of the shell (Fig. 51). The small-sized Cryptopora specimens are supposed to be without traces of drilling predation. It is generally true and most of the specimens are drill-hole free both in the literature and in the studied material of the NBC collection. However, in the case of the Maasbree locality, all of the three available Cryptopora specimens show drill holes (two in dorsal valves and one in ventral valve). Of course, this sample may be not representative because of the very few specimens, but such a high drilling frequency would be a surprise, especially in this small-sized micromorphic species. Some of the very thin and fragile shells were partly broken during the cleaning process by ultrasonic cleaner, during the SEM photography or removing the samples from the SEM holder (Figs 47, 52, 54 – 55). This is a very widely distributed species, which is known from all European marine Miocene palaeobiogeographic areas: the Mediterranean in Italy (DREGER 1911; DULAI 2010 a; this paper); the Central Paratethys in Poland (POPIEL-BARCZYK & BARCZYK 1990); the Atlantic Ocean in France (BITNER & CAHUZAC 2004); the North Sea Basin from Germany (WIENRICH 1999) and from the Netherlands (DULAI, this paper).	en	Dulai, A.

7251972795719B43B530FD8066B1CB74.taxon	description	(Fig. 59) Material – Gross Pampau (2 fragmentary specimens). Notes – This species was described from the North Sea Basin by DAVIDSON (1874). POPIEL-BARCZYK (1980) mentioned three Cryptopora species from the Miocene of eastern Poland (C. lovisati, C. nysti, C. discites). However, after the revision of her material BITNER & CAHUZAC (2004) identified only C. nysti in the collection of the Museum of the Earth (Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland). DULAI (submitted) also confirmed the presence of this species in the Polish Miocene on the basis of a smaller Central Paratethyan material in the NBC collection. C. nysti is known also from the Messinian of Menorca, Spain (LLOMPART & CALZADA 1982). TOSCANO-GRANDE et al. (2010) illustrated a Cryptopora sp. from the Neogene of the Guadalquivir Basin (SW Spain), which seems to be similar to C. nysti. It was mentioned from the Miocene of France by DOLLFUS & DAUTZENBERG (1901); however, later it was not confirmed by DE MORGAN (1915). This species is easily distinguished from the other European Neogene species, C. lovisati, by the well-visible wing-like modification of the deltidial plates of the latter species. C. nysti seems to be present in all European Miocene seas, but until now was not so frequently recorded as C. lovisati. However, its small and very fragile shells are easily overlooked in the sediments.	en	Dulai, A.

Unfortunately, the anterior parts are missing and the anterior commissures are unknown. However, the lateral commissures and the available parts of the shells indicate some folds at the anterior part of the specimens. The posterior part and the characters of the beak also refer to Terebratula. This genus has a large, circular, permesothyrid foramen. LEE et al. (2001) summarised the problematic and rather long history of Terebratula terebratula, and they discussed the relationships of the species currently included in the genus Terebratula. LEE et al. (2001) recognised only three valid species within the genus: T. terebratula (Linnaeus, 1758), T. ampulla (Brocchi, 1814) and T. scillae Seguenza, 1871. At the same time they synonymised three frequently mentioned species (Anomia sinuosa Brocchi, 1814; Terebratula calabra Seguenza, 1871; Terebratula costae Seguenza, 1871) with T. terebratula. It was a common and widespread Miocene terebratulide in the Mediterranean. Terebratula sp. Material – Pauvrelay (fragments of 1 brachial and 1 pedicle valves). Size (mm) – Length (34) (20) Width (25) (16) Notes – The very limited Pauvrelay material consists only of fragmentary Terebratula valves. There are several epibionts (Bryozoans, worm tubes) on both external and internal sides of the valves, which suggest that epibionts’ larvae settled on the brachiopod valves only after the death of the specimens. The isolated and fragmentary valves refer to shallow, agitated environment.	en	Dulai, A.

72519727957F9B4CB556FB95675ACA7E.taxon	description	This species originally was described as Terebratula (and variety of vitrea) by PHILIPPI (1836). Later DAVIDSON (1886) assigned it to Liothyris, while MAUGERI PATANÉ (1923) to the subgenus of Liothyrina. COOPER (1983) assigned the species minor to his newly established genus Eurysina, but without detailed justification. In the loop statistics of Eurysina (Table 77, p. 260) E. minor was indicated as a recent specimen from the Adriatic Sea. It probably means that COOPER (1983) has studied a recent Gryphus vitreus from the Mediterranean. Finally GAETANI & SACCÀ (1983) classified the species minor to Gryphus, which is accepted and followed in this paper.	en	Dulai, A.

Although it is only an internal mould, it can be identified as T. retusa on the basis of the shape of the specimen, the characteristics of the beak region and the radial ornamentation. Terebratulina? sp. (Figs 66 – 67) Material – Dingden (1 fragmentary specimen); Winterswijk-Brinkheurne (1 fragmentary specimen). Notes – Both specimens are so fragmentary, that even their generic assignment is uncertain. The characters of their outer ornamentation and the shell structure refer to possible Terebratulina.	en	Dulai, A.

72519727957D9B4EB502FC7B660DCDEC.taxon	description	(Figs 68 – 69) Material – Berzano di San Pietro (1 dorsal and 1 ventral valve). Size (mm) – Length 2.4 Width 2.6 Notes – E. tauriniensis is a very rare terebratulide from the Italian Neogene. The limited available NBC material (1 dorsal and 1 ventral valve) from the Middle Miocene (Langhian) of Berzano di San Pietro is very similar to Terebratulina tauriniensis described by SEGUENZA (1866) on the basis of a single dorsal valve. Later DAVIDSON (1870) also studied only one complete specimen from the Middle Miocene of Gassino (Piedmont). DAVIDSON (1870) mentioned erroneously, that this form might be no more than a young stage of Terebratulina caput-serpentis (= Terebratulina retusa). In the revised Treatise LEE et al. (2006) identified T. tauriniensis as member of the genus Eucalathis. The studied material is well comparable with the figured specimens by both SEGUENZA (1866) and DAVIDSON (1870) (e. g. outline, number of ribs, and beaded, tuberculate character of ribs). Recently DULAI (2010 a) described E. aff. tauriniensis from the Late Miocene deposits of Borelli (Italy, Piemonte). This latter form is more elongated, the outline is not subcircular but subtrigonal, its beak is higher and the ribs are without any beads. This limited material confirms that E. tauriniensis was a very rare but consistently occurring member of the Middle Miocene deeper water brachiopod fauna of the Italian Mediterranean. Until now, this species is known only from the Miocene of Italy.	en	Dulai, A.

72519727957C9B48B595FB2F60FFCC6E.taxon	materials_examined	Material – Amberre (3 specimens). Size (mm) – Length 3.1 2.6 2.2 Width 2.7 3.1 2.7 Notes – Joania was proposed recently by ALVAREZ et al. (2008) for those Argyrotheca, which differ in their adult crural development, narrow hinge line, prominent cardinal process, characteristic dorsal median septum and their tuberculate radial ridges, which terminate anteriorly in tubercles. Joania is known to have been present since the Eocene (SIMON 2010). DE MORGAN (1915) described some smooth or very weakly ribbed Cistella (= Argyrotheca) species from the Miocene sediments of France (faluns of Touraine): C. laevigata, C. mariae, C. plicata, C. pontileviensis, C. falunica, C. eugenii, C?. transversa. However, C. laevigata and C. mariae later were synonymised with J. cordata by BITNER (1990) and her opinion is accepted and followed here. The author had the opportunity to check syntypes of C. laevigata and C. mariae in the Natural History Museum in Paris (in the framework of a Synthesys project, FR-TAF- 4689), which confirms BITNER’s (1990) opinion. Therefore, all of those specimens from Amberre, which were identified in NBC collections as C. mariae and C. laevigata, are revised here as J. cordata. The specimens previously labelled as C. mariae (Figs 71 – 73) are clearly belonging to J. cordata. The specimen labelled as C. laevigata (Fig. 70) is a more eroded specimen but the row of marginal tubercles can be detected even in this preservational condition. JULIEN (1940) described a Vindobonian brachiopod fauna from Sain-Fons (Rhône valley, France), including a possible new species, “ Cistella nov. sp. groupe de C. laevigata de Morgan ”. Although it is similar to J. cordata (which is also present in the material from Sain-Fons, described as Cistella neapolitana by JULIEN, 1940: pl. 4, figs 14 – 18), its tubercles along the lateral and anterior margins are less numerous and larger in size. This way it may represent a different species closely related to J. cordata. J. cordata is one of the most common micromorphic brachiopods in the Miocene shallow water sediments of the Central Paratethys (see e. g. BITNER 1990; BITNER & DULAI 2004; BITNER & KAIM 2004; DULAI 2007). It is also common in recent Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean (e. g. LOGAN 1979; 1983). Recently it was recognised in the Oligocene of the Central Paratethys (DULAI 2010 b) as well as in the Oligocene of France (BITNER et al. 2013).	en	Dulai, A.
