Description
Summary:In this article is analysed for the first time the ostracods association from the Early Pliocene (MPL 3 Zone) sandy clayey silt outcropping, along the shore, to the left of the Nocella river mouth (Castellammare Gulf, NW Sicily). The ostracods association is abundant and well preserved and is referred to a not very deep paleoenvironment of the Continental Shelf. Some species, belonging to the genera Cytherelloidea, Eucytherura, Pseudocytherura, Aurila, Pachycaudites, Tenedocythere, Capsacythere, Echinocythereis have been identified, described and figured here for the first time. Dans cet article, nous analysons pour la première fois l'association d'ostracodes du Pliocène inférieur (Zone MPL 3) des limons argilo-sableux affleurant le long du rivage à gauche de l'embouchure de la rivière Nocella (golfe de Castellamare, Sicile NW). L'association des ostracodes est abondante et bien conservée et se réfère à un paléoenvironnement peu profond du plateau continental. Quelques espèces appartenant aux genres Cytherelloidea, Eucytherura, Pseudocytherura, Aurila, Pachycaudites, Tenedocythere, Capsacythere, Echinocythereis ont été identifiés, décrits et figurés ici pour la première fois.
