Remarks – Today Macandrevia cranium is known mainly from the Arctic region (Western Arctic, Greenland, Norway, Northern Atlantic, Spitzbergen, Greenland, Rhode Island, and Western Sahara) but may occur also in the Mediterranean (Lion Bay, France) (ZEZINA 2012). M. cranium has a long nomenclatural history, and earlier it was attributed to different genera: Terebratula (MÜLLER 1776; JEFFREYS 1878), Waldheimia (DAVIDSON 1886; FISCHER & OEHLERT 1891; POSSELT 1898); Waldheimiathyris (WESENBERG-LUND 1941). DALL (1920) described a new species, M. novangliae which is generally synonymized with M. cranium (e.g. ZEZINA 2012). THOMSEN (1990) studied M. cranium and its usefulness in palaeoceanographic reconstructions. It belongs to the deep-water forms, the recent representatives are known from 9–2951 m (ZEZINA 2012). In the studied North Sea Basin samples it consistently occurs in small specimen numbers.
