Abstract

This is a study on the Pliensbachian and Toarcian ostracods of the Gerecse and Mecsek Mountains (Transdanubian Central Range and southern Transdanubia, respectively), in comparison with the results of similar investigations made recently in the Bakony Mts. The ostracod fauna of the Gerecse is very similar to that in the Bakony, here Healdidae and Cytheridae disappear in the Toarcian also, due to the deepening of the basin. In the Mecsek the deep sublittoral Healdidae assemblage is replaced by an assemblage dominated by the shallow sublittoral Cytheridae above the Tenuicostatum Zone, indicating the water-depth changing to shallower.
