Abstract
The foraminifers Colaniella ex gr. parva (Colani) and Colaniella ex gr, min ima (Wang) are described for the first time in Late Permian calcarenitic se diments of the Pietra di Salomone (Sosio Valley, Sicily). These species, al so recognised in redeposited intervals of the Triassic Monte Facito Formati on (Southern Apennine. Lagonegro Basin), are here illustrated for the first time. Their simultaneous presence indicates a Midian to Dzhulfian possibly Dorashamian? age. The age of the redeposition of the calcarenites and calc irudites, in Sicily and in Southern Apennine, is consequently Latest Permia n (Dorashamian), or younger.
