Data report: late Eocene–early Oligocene ostracods at IODP Site U1411, off Newfoundland, North Atlantic1

Tatsuhiko Yamaguchi2

Abstract

At the present, typical North Atlantic Deep Water ostracod faunas are characterized by the dominance of Krithe species and the association with Henryhowella and Poseidonamicus. The fauna may have originated during the Eocene–Oligocene. Because there are only a few taxonomic studies on Eocene–Oligocene ostracod taxa in the North Atlantic deep-sea sediments, the ostracod taxa are poorly understood. Here I report and illustrate 23 taxa from the upper Eocene–lower Oligocene sediments at Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Site U1411 in the North Atlantic Ocean and describe the taxa systematically.
