Title (Dublin Core)

Late Cenomanian ostracode faunas from the area south of Ain Sukhna, western side of the Gulf of Suez, Egypt

Description (Dublin Core)

Study of ostracode faunas from a Cenomanian exposure represented by the Galala Formation in the area south of the town Ain Sukhna on the western side of the Gulf of Suez has yielded 11 species belonging to 10 genera. The recorded species have been taxonomically described, discussed where required, and illustrated. The ostracode assemblage is characteristic for the late Cenomanian. It is composed of taxa of a typical marine shelf setting. The majority of the recorded species have a vastly extending geographic distribution in the areas along the southern shores of the Tethys, indicating the absence of significant geographic barriers along this stretch during the late Cenomanian.
