The correlation between the size of Lower and Middle Pleistocene Cyprideis torosa Oones) ostracode
valves and paleosalinity reveal the existence ofa direct relationship though little significant. This observation
suggest that in spite of the two areas of Cullar-Baza Basin, where the ostracodes have been picked, were
controlled under similar general paleoclimatic conditions, the particular and local paleogeographical
conditions had a major influence not only in the specific diversity but also in the morphology of the
ostracodes
