STRATIGRAPHIC PECULARITIES OF OSTRACOD DISTRIBUTION IN BAKU ARCHIPELAGO, THE CASPIAN SEA AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL DEPOSITS DURING THE QUATERNARY TIME

The quaternary (postpliocene) ostracods of the South Caspian allow the sections to be differentiated into supra-horizons with the distinctive complexes and governing forms widely used for stratigraphic purposes. Many species of Leptocythere, Amnicythere and Loxoconcha occur within the ostracod fauna. A detailed review of genus and species is required to classify the fauna. Our photos show the basic Postpliocene fauna of the South Caspian, which correlates well with the coastal sections.
