The Ostracoda Subclass comprises the most expressive group of calcareous microfossils in the deposits of the Araripe Basin, especially in its post-rift sequence, which is represented by the Santana Group, of Late Aptian age (= Alagoas Local Stage). Due to the abundance, ostracod species are of great importance for understanding the evolution of the Araripe Basin, with direct application in biostratigraphic and paleoecological analyses. Improving these important applications involves refining the taxonomy of these ostracods, which also contributes to understanding the diversity of this fauna.

A combined biostratigraphic and palaeoecological study of foraminifera, ostracodes and microfacies was carried out on the Aptian in the Sítio Sobradinho section of the Araripe Basin, northeast Brazil. The analysed section represents a deepening-upward sequence with mid-ramp shoal and outer ramp to basin facies associations on a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate marine ramp. The analysed rocks are dominated by Early Cretaceous planktic foraminifera (Hedbergella aptiana, H.
