Abstract

An overview is presented of the biostratigraphic studies with Cretaceous marine ostracods of 14 South Atlantic basins, situated both in the African and South American continental margins. The majority of South American studies were developed after the 2000s, while the African ones were published earlier. Studies on the Brazilian equatorial margin show the potential for biostratigraphic and faunal correlations between the two continents, especially during the Albian–Turonian interval.
