Revised stratigraphic framework of the Cretaceous in the Bajo Grande area (Argentinean Patagonia) inferred from new U-Pb ages and palynology

The revision of the stratigraphy of the Cerro Bayo in the Bajo Grande area (Argentinean Patagonia) and the new 206Pb/238U age of 116.85 ± 0.26 Ma constrain the dating of the Baqueró flora, one of the most abundant Aptian floras of southern Gondwana. This flora, preserved in the Baqueró Group, repres...

description The revision of the stratigraphy of the Cerro Bayo in the Bajo Grande area (Argentinean Patagonia) and the new 206Pb/238U age of 116.85 ± 0.26 Ma constrain the dating of the Baqueró flora, one of the most abundant Aptian floras of southern Gondwana. This flora, preserved in the Baqueró Group, represents an extinct biome that flourished ca. 118 Ma ago and was affected by increasing regional volcanism during the subsequent four millions years. The outcrops of the Cerro Bayo are characterized by fluvio-lacustrine deposits divided into three facies associations that include nine lithofacies.
