F. Lethiers et al., PERMIAN OSTRACODES (CRUSTACEA) FROM GUATE MALA (CENTRAL-AMERICA) - FIRST DATA, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 320(11), 1995, pp. 1109-1116
The Leonardian (Uppermost Lower Permian) Chochal Formation of Guatemal
a has yielded 48 species of ostracodes which belong mainly to the Podo
copida. These first data from Central America permit the interpretatio
n of eustasy and palaeoecology of a well oxygenated carbonate platform
far from shore. A significant faunal relationship, at specific level,
seems to exist with South China and the Russian Platform.
