Integrated biostratigraphical study of La Horqueta section (Aptian-Albian boundary), Cardiel lake, Patagonia, Argentina

La Horqueta at Cardiel lake is a classical section in Santa Cruz province where marine invertebrates include ammonites of the Aptian-Albian transition. New collections at this site yielded palynological remains from several horizons in both Río Mayer Formation (latest Aptian) and Piedra Clavada Form...

description La Horqueta at Cardiel lake is a classical section in Santa Cruz province where marine invertebrates include ammonites of the Aptian-Albian transition.

Marine dinoflagellate cysts are found in the lower part of the section; they agree with an Aptian to earliest Albian age suggested by ammonites. Statistical counts of six palynological groups show the dominance of the conifer family Cheirolepidiaceae in the Río Mayer Formation coinciding with the presence of dinoflagellate cysts and the gradual increase of pteridophitic spores and saccate pollen, mainly of the family Podocarpaceae in the upper Piedra Clavada Formation.
