Middle-Upper Devonian palynoflora from the Tonono x-1 borehole, Salta Province, northwestern Argentina

The surveyed microflora was recovered from six cores from the Tonono x-1 well in northwestern Argentina. Most of the studied interval corresponds to the Tonono Formation, i.e., the upper part to the Jollín Member and the basal part of the interval may be related to the Michicola Formation. The micro...
