Vertical distribution of Holocene ostracoda at Anadolu Hisarı (Bosphorus-İstanbul)

Vertical distribution of Holocene ostracoda at Anadolu Hisarı (Bosphorus-İstanbul)

The vertical distribution of the Holocene ostracods of Anadolu Hisarı has been studied for 36 sediment samples from four boreholes. Forty-four Ostracoda species were determined. Four ostracod assemblages were identified from these species. These assemblages are dominated respectively by; Aurila convexa (Baird); Xestoleberis aurantia (Baird); X. depressa Sars; andTyrrenocythere amnicola (Sars). In general, the fauna exhibits low diversity and richness. Finally, Q-mode cluster analysis was applied to the Bray-Curtis measure of similarity.
