Ichnology of the latest Carboniferous-earliest Permian transgression in the Paganzo Basin of western Argentina: The interplay of ecology, sea-level rise, and paleogeography during postglacial times in Gondwana

The late Paleozoic climatic evolution of Gondwana can be traced by analyzing the benthic ecology of its coastal environments as revealed by their ichnologic content. Latest Carboniferous-earliest Permian transgressive deposits occur in the lower member of the Tupe Formation, Paganzo Group, western A...

description The late Paleozoic climatic evolution of Gondwana can be traced by analyzing the benthic ecology of its coastal environments as revealed by their ichnologic content. Latest Carboniferous-earliest Permian transgressive deposits occur in the lower member of the Tupe Formation, Paganzo Group, western Argentina. Three different trace-fossil assemblages are present as part of two complete depositional sequences. Trace-Fossil Assemblage 1 consists of Treptichnus pollardi and Helminthopsis abeli, which occur in fine-grained heterolithic facies. This assemblage characterizes a subaqueous freshwater substrate in a flood-plain environment. Trace-Fossil Assemblage 2, consisting of Halopoa isp., Palaeophycus crenulatus and Planolites montanus, occurs in thin-bedded, tabular sandstone. The tracemakers inhabited a low-energy distal-bay environment dominated by background sedimentation with sporadic storm episodes. The trace fossils represent the activity of post-storm colonizers. Trace-Fossil Assemblage 3 is monospecific, comprising only Rhizocorallium commune preserved at the interface between a sandstone bed and the overlying mudstone.
