i'm working on ostracod zonation and I would like to know if I can add the ostracod assemblages of the zones besides precising their bondaries by the first or last occurences of species?
I believe you are preparing a range chart to show vertical/stratigraphic distribution of all the ostracod species. This range chart can be used to depict taxon range zones and assemblage zones. In addition, other biozones, viz. concurrent range zones, interval zones, phylozones, etc. can be also demonstrated using the same range chart.
Yes i did the vertical distribution of the encountered ostracods but I have some confusing on how to determine the ostracod assemblege which characterize the biozone.
