A colleague of mine, Prof. Dr. Juan Carlos BRAGA, found something bizarre
while he was reviewing a paper on fossil red algae authored by M(o)(u)stafa
M. IMAM. The problematic issue rose again with older papers on fossil red
algae by the same author. His preliminary report 9first posted to the
CALCALGA list) is currently available from a dedicated page in the main IFAA
website.

I knew only one paper by M.M. IMAM on fossil green algae ... and I found a
similar: you'll find all the photographic evidences in my report, same URL,
following BRAGA's one.

I have found in the literature 2 references on the Foraminifera by M.M. IMAM
... I invite people studying this group of fossils to review accurately
these 2 papers:
IMAM, MM 2001
Biostratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous - Lower Eocene succession in the
Bani Walid area, northwest Libya
Journal of African Earth Sciences VO- 33; NO- 1; pp. 69-89

PHILLIP, G; IMAM, MM; GAWAD, GIA1997
Planktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphy of the Miocene sequence in the area
between Wadi El-Tayiba and Wadi Sidri, west central Sinai, Egypt
Journal of African Earth Sciences VO- 25; NO- 3; pp. 435-451
