Os ostracodos (Crustacea: Ostracoda) são organismos ecologicamente muito sensíveis que fossilizam com facilidade, preservando as estruturas da carapaça. O estudo das associações de ostracodos fósseis, em sucessões estratigráficas, permite inferir os paleoambientes (de água doce, salobra, litoral, infralitoral e circalitoral) e registar a evolução dos mesmos. Esta tese retoma o estudo deste grupo, com a revisão e síntese dos principais resultados de sistemática, biostratigráficos e paleoecológicos, e tentando enquadrá-los no actual quadro cronostratigráfico para o Miocénico Inferior da bacia do Baixo Tejo (BBT). Efectuou-se o estudo preliminar dos ostracodos obtidos na Sondagem de Belverde (Península de Setúbal, 38º 35’ 34,1’’/9º 8’ 24,7’’) pertencentes ao Miocénico da parte distal da BBT. Foram identificados os paleoambientes do Miocénico Inferior da BBT e correlacionados com os ciclos eustáticos. A análise das diferentes associações de ostracodos, correspondentes a diferentes profundidades, permitiram reconstituir paleoambientes de águas salobras, como estuários e lagoas, aquando das regressões ocorridas e, paleoambientes tipicamente marinhos consequentes das transgressões ocorridas; Ostracods from Belverde Borehole (Miocene of the Lower Tagus Basin) Abstract: Ostracods (Crustacea: Ostracoda) are organisms ecologically very sensible that fossilize easier, preserving the whole carapace characteristics. The study of the ostracod fossil assemblages, in the stratigraphic sequences, allows us to infer palaeoenvironments (freshwater, brackish, and marine) and record their evolution. This dissertation resumes the study of this group, with the review and summary of the main results in systematic, biostratigraphy and paleoecology, and attempt to frame them in the recent chronostratigraphical scenario of the Lower Miocene of the Lower Tagus basin (LTB). It was done the preliminary study of the ostracods of the Belverde Borehole (Setúbal peninsula, 38º 35’ 34,1’’/9º 8’ 24,7’’) belonged to the Miocene distal part of the BBT. It has been identified the palaeoenvironments of the Lower Miocene of BBT and correlate with the eustatic cycles. The analysis of the different associations, which correspond to different depths, enabled the reconstruction brackish water palaeoenvironments, like estuaries and lagoon, when the regressive episodes occurred, and typical marine environments consequent of transgressions.
