Paleoecology of the Turonian Ostracoda from the Úpohlavy section
 Houdková, Markéta ; Kyška Pipík, Radovan (advisor) ; Seko, Michal (referee)
This thesis deals with the class Ostracoda from the Úpohlavy quarry, which is an important paleontological site of the Turonian in the Czech Cretaceous Basin with abundant and well- preserved fauna. Twenty samples from marls and limestones of Jizera and Teplice formation were colected in which 36 marine middle and upper Turonian ostracods species were identified. Ostracods of the studied profile are characterized by gradual increase of species richness and decline of dominance of Cytherella cf. ovata (Roemer, 1840). The lowest diversity is in the Jizera formation and the highest diversity in the Teplice formation. The order Platycopida prevails on the order Podocopida in the Jizera formation, in which percentages of Platycopida is in the range 67-89%, while its percentage in the Teplice formatiion is lower in the range 25-59 %. Using the Platycopida Signal Hypothesis in a sense of Whatley et al. (2003), which compares percentages of Platycopida and Podocopida, a low O2 content in Jizera formation and in the Coprolite bed (monotonous dark marls) of Teplice formation is supposed. This is in accordance with low number of species (5-11 per sample) and with higher TOC content (0.34-0.74 %). With the beginning of limestone and marl sedimentation of the Teplice formation a number of species increases...
