The late Albian-early Cenomanian ostracodes from Naur Formation, Jordan

Abstract

Thirty-nine species of podocopid and platycopid ostracodes were recovered from the well NH-1, in AlKhaldeh, Jordan. Typical Cenomanian taxa such as Metacytheropteron berbericus Bassoulet & Damotte, Cytherella aegyptiensis Colin & El Dakkak, Cythereis namousensis Bassoulet & Damotte, Cythereis algeriana Bassoulet & Damotte, Veeniacythereis jezzineensis Bischoff and Dolocytheridea atlasica Bassoulet & Damotte, common in other South Tethyan regions, were recorded. Pore-clusters, a typical Eucytherurinae morphological feature, are recorded in Aracajuia distincta (Gerry & Rosenfeld).
