Cretaceous ostracods of DSDP Hole 10-95 (Figure 2)

The ostracoda fauna recovered from site 95, JOIDES leg 10, consists of Albian and Senonian species, some of which have previously been described from the southeastern United States. These are Cytherella aff. bullata, Brachycythere acuminata, B. cf. crenulata, Hazelina austinensis, Phacorabdotus texanus, Cythereis cf. caudata, Fossocytheridea cf. lenoirensis, and the following species referred to in open nomenclature: Neocythere? sp. 19, Aversovalva? sp. and Paracypris spp. The stratigraphic and paleoecological data derived from the study of this fauna are compared with those based on planktonic foraminifers and nannofossils.
