Late Campanian nautiloids from Deir Abu Said, north-western Jordan.

A small faunule of nautiloids is described from the upper Campanian Bahiya Coquina Member of the Al-Hisa Phosphorite Formation of north-western Jordan. It consists of Eutrephoceras sphaericum (Forbes, 1845), Cimomia desertora (Quaas, 1902) and a specimen assigned to Hercoglossidae indet. in open nomenclature. E. sphaericum and C. desertora are reported for the first time from Jordan. The present records further complement the information on the temporal and spatial distribution of nautiloids at the southern margin of the Neotethyan Ocean during the late part of the Cretaceous Period.
