Abstract
ABSTRACT Ostracoda from approximately 100 stations in Mesquite, Aransas and Copano Bays, St. Joseph Island and nearby open Gulf of Mexico represent about 50 species distributed in three principal biofacies. (1) Subtropical lake, pond, and river biofacies with a prodelta subfacies; (2) shallow subtropical bay biofacies; (3) open shallow and subtropical open shelf biofacies. A statistical analysis of Ostracoda from Mesquite Bay suggests that some species are more adaptable than others to environmental changes in the bay. Some of the species of this assemblage range back as far as the Miocene and general similarities of environmental distribution of late Tertiary and Quaternary ostracode faunas and Recent assemblages are indicated by the study.
