- Abstract
Nine ostracod species are described from the Late Santonian - Campanian of Wadi Al-Kharaj section, northwestern Jordan. These species provide valuable information for biostratigraphy and paleobiogeography of the southern Tethys realm. The nine species belong to the following genera: Cytherella, Bythocypris, "Togoina", Brachycythere, Cythereis, "Veenia", Ventrocythereis, and Cristaeleberis. These species confirmed that the top of the Wadi Ghudran Formation and the base of the Amman Formation span the Coniacian-Campanian boundary. Brachycythere provides valuable information on the palaebiogeography of the shallow marine ostracodes.
