Abstract
The large benthic foraminifera (macroforaminifera) of Cuba have been closely studied by many specialists, but there is no publication that brings together all the genera and species identified to date. This work represents the introduction to a Catalog of Macroforaminifera developed to serve as an identification tool in micropaleontological studies. For its realization, the authors had available the existing bibliographic information and valuable unpublished documentation, as a result of micropaleontological determinations of the specialists working in the oil companies operating in Cuba. As a result, the systematics of the large benthic foraminifera species was updated according to the current classification patterns; genera and generic associations useful for the interpretation of several paleoenvironmental distribution zones were identified; and the characteristics of 20 genera were analyzed, with 54 species in total registered for Cuba, which were included in this Catalog. The specific files contained in the Catalog of Larger Benthic Foraminifera (Macroforaminifera) of the Cretaceous of Cuba represent the unification of the information available to the micropaleontologists of the Petroleum Research Center (CEINPET) about this group and contribute to the better development of biostratigraphic studies of larger foraminifera for the Cretaceous of Cuba.
