The study of ostracods in 13 samples from the Bathonian and Lower Callovian of Albstadt-Pfeffi ngen (Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany) yielded five faunal assemblages. The assemblages in the Bathonian are in general more diverse than in the Lower Callovian; at the Bathonian/Callovian boundary a signifi cant number of last occurrences of taxa are recorded (15). In the Keppleri subzone of the Lower Callovian poor microfaunal assemblages indicate unfavourable bottom water conditions. In the upper Herveyi and the lower Koenigi zone the number of individuals and the diversity both increase again.
