| Summary: | Baculites ovatus, SAY, 1820, a distinctive baculite previously known only from the condensed Upper Campanian-Lower Maastrichtian phosphatic nodule bed at the base of the Navesink Formation in New Jersey, U.S.A., is described from the Maastrichtian Calcaire à Orbitoides of Roquefort, Landes, France.
