Resumen
La presente tesis doctoral (Resol. CDFCN N°069/2014) se desarrolló en el marco de la carrera de Doctorado en Geología de la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Ciencias de la Salud (FCNyCS) de la Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco (UNPSJB).
Esta tesis se basó en el estudio de las carofitas reconocidas en unidades cretácicas no marinas del Grupo Chubut en las cuencas de Cañadón Asfalto (CCA) y del Golfo San Jorge (CGSJ) en Patagonia central.
Sobre un total de 300 muestras analizadas, se reconocieron diez taxones, incluyendo dos especies nuevas: Mesochara adobensis y Lamprothamnium? barcinensis. El estudio bioestratigráfico permitió definir cinco asociaciones de carofitas asignadas al intervalo Barremiano–Albiano temprano, correspondientes a las formaciones Los Adobes y Cerro Barcino de la CCA y a la Formación Pozo D-129 de la CGSJ. Estas microfloras fueron correlacionadas con asociaciones previamente estudiadas en Europa, Asia y África, principalmente. Asimismo, se analizó la distribución paleobiogeográfica de las especies reconocidas. La presencia, en los depósitos estudiados, de algunos taxones previamente restringidos a la región del Tetis permitió extender la distribución de esas especies a Argentina, reconociéndose su carácter cosmopolita y subcosmopolita.
Los análisis tafonómicos, micropaleontológicos, sedimentológicos y mineralógicos realizados en los depósitos del Cretácico Temprano estudiados permitieron la interpretación de paleoambientes que incluyen charcas efímeras y lagunas someras desarrolladas sobre planicies de inundación distal o facies litorales lacustres, en un contexto de clima cálido, semiárido y estacionalmente seco. En contraste, los depósitos de la Formación Lago Colhué Huapi registran un ambiente de agua dulce más permanente, bien oxigenado, vinculado a un clima cálido y húmedo en el Cretácico Tardío de Patagonia.
This doctoral thesis (Resol. CDFCN No. 069/2014) was carried out within the framework of the Ph.D. program in Geology at the Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Ciencias de la Salud (FCNyCS) of the Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia San Juan Bosco (UNPSJB). The study was based on the analysis of charophytes identified in non-marine Cretaceous units of the Chubut Group in the Cañadón Asfalto (CAB) and Golfo San Jorge (GSJB) basins in central Patagonia. Out of a total of 300 samples analyzed, ten taxa were recognized, including two new species: Mesochara adobensis and Lamprothamnium? barcinensis. The biostratigraphic analysis allowed the definition of five charophyte assemblages assigned to the Barremian–early Albian interval, corresponding to the Los Adobes and Cerro Barcino formations of the CAB and the Pozo D-129 Formation of the GSJB. These microfloras were compared with previously studied assemblages from Europe, Asia, and Africa. The paleobiogeographic distribution of the recognized species was also analyzed. The presence in the studied deposits of some taxa previously restricted to the Tethyan Region allowed their distribution to be extended to Argentina, confirming their cosmopolitan or sub-cosmopolitan nature. Taphonomic, micropaleontological, sedimentological and mineralogical analyses carried out on the Early Cretaceous deposits studied allowed for the interpretation of paleoenvironments that include ephemeral ponds and shallow water bodies developed on distal floodplains or lacustrine littoral facies, in a warm, semi-arid and seasonally dry climate. In contrast, the deposits of the Lago Colhué Huapi Formation record a more permanent, well-oxygenated freshwater environment, associated with a warm and humid climate during the Late Cretaceous in Patagonia.
