A simple notation scheme to describe time-averaged ostracod assemblages (Crustacea, Ostracoda) by their taxonomic composition

H. I. Griffiths and J. G. Evans

Abstract. A simple notation scheme is presented for the description of Quaternary freshwater ostracod assemblages by means of their taxonomic composition. The notation scheme also allows diagrammatic description of the fauna and assists in palaeoecological interpretation of sequential samples.
