Material. 57 specimens from 21 samples.

Description. Tubular and flattened test, rarely branched, usually straight or curved. Wall thick, moderately coarse agglutinated, composed of quartz grains.

Distribution. Well-known species from Cretaceous to the late Eocene of Carpathians; described from the Miocene by Osterman and Spiegler (1996) and Kender et al. (2009).

Paleoecology. Nothia excelsa was regarded as an epifaunal deposit-feeders form colonizing turbiditic deposit surfaces ( Geroch and Kaminski, 1993); recently Kaminski et al. (2006) and Kender et al. (2008) set this species into the erect epifauna morphogroup M1.

Remarks. In the investigated samples this species usually occurs broken and fragmentated; only one branched specimen was found in the sample PC060603.
