Abstract

A diverse fauna of ostracodes comprising 21 species representing 20 genera are described from the Maxville Limestone in central Ohio. Eight new species are proposed—Roundyella incompta, Deloia spinula, Lokius morsei, Bairdia prolixa, Acratia prolata, Waylandella depresssa, Pseudobythocypris securis, and Paracavellina cooperi.

Oliganisus secunda (Croneis and Bristol), Glyptopleura costata (McCoy), and Geffenina praelonga Cooper are represented by tecnomorphs and heteromorphs. Specimens of Sansabella bradfieldi Coryell and Sohn show reversal of valve overlap.

The ostracode fauna indicates a Chesterian age for the Maxville Limestone.
