The carapace of fossil ostracodes: paleoenvironmental indicators

Abstract

The fossil ostracodes have very interesting and diversified carapaces. Besides full smooth forms and explicit ornamented species, there are more transitive types of sculpture. It’s considering that surface of valve/carapace mostly dependent from bottom nature and way of life as well as quality of the water solution. The view and structure of fossil associations can indicate the presence of paleotransport. An attempt is made to explain this phenomenon on ostracodes from Upper Miocene deposits of Serbia.
