Holocene ostracoda and sedimentary environment implication in the core NG93-1 from the Great Wall Bay, Antarctica

The Holocene ostracode are analyzed from the core sample NG93-1 collected in the Great Wall Bay, Antarctica during 1992 - 1993. Totally 11 genera 21 species have been identified in the sediments, of which the most abundant is Loxoreticulatum fallax, the second abundant are Xestoleberis keguelensis,...

Description
Summary:The Holocene ostracode are analyzed from the core sample NG93-1 collected in the Great Wall Bay, Antarctica during 1992 - 1993. Totally 11 genera 21 species have been identified in the sediments, of which the most abundant is Loxoreticulatum fallax, the second abundant are Xestoleberis keguelensis, Xestoleberis spp. , Semicytherura spp. , Australicythere polylyca, etc. Most species of ostracodes are those known in Antarctic area. Base on the study of ostracodes from the core NG93-1, their sedimentary environment may be of shore-shallow sea.
