Members of Bythocytheremorpha (Ostracoda) from the Cretaceous of Tadzhik depression |
| |
| Abstract: | Six new species of the genus Bythocytheremorpha, including B. centroscrobiculata, B. aksuensis, B. bicornis, B. (?) abnormis, B. torulosa, and B. ilyini, are reported and described from beds of Upper Cretaceous age (Cenomanian through Santonian) of the southwestern part of the Gissar Range, located in the southeast of Soviet Central Asia. These relatively primitive Cretaceous ostracods, which possess an intricately sculptured carapace, seem to have lived in a shallow, warm, marine environment. — R. H. Benson. |
