DISCUSSION All the ostracods encountered were benthic types, and 51 species belonging to 26 genera (with 6 species unallocated) were identified from the Aptian to Ce- nomanian strata of south-east Africa (Agulhas Bank and Zululand) and the Falkland Plateau (DSDP sites 327 and 330). In this section the faunas and their palaeoecological and biostratigraphical implications will be discussed, followed by a regional assessment of their distribution in the light of mid-Cretaceous palaeogeographic reconstructions of this part of Gondwanaland. FALKLAND PLATEAU Altogether 28 species belonging to 16 genera (with 4 species unallocated) have been recorded from the two DSDP sites on the east Falkland Plateau: site 327 (20 species, 14 genera); site 330 (17 species, 13 genera). Their vertical distri- bution and relative abundances are shown in Table Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
