Material – Gedgrave (24 fragments); Cricqueville-en-Bessin (2 fragments); Kreekrak (7 fragments); Delden (Delden Member: 22 fragments, Zenderen Member:> 95 fragments); Neede (Delden Member:> 124 fragments; Zenderen Member: 35 fragments). Remarks – Several samples from the Pliocene of England, France and the Netherlands yielded indeterminable Lingulidae fragments. The small size of the fragments makes it impossible to decide whether they belong to Lingula or Glottidia. Until now, only Glottidia has surely been confirmed from the Neogene of the North Sea Basin (e.g. CHUANG 1964; DULAI 2013), therefore, Glottidia is used for these fragments with question mark.
