Abstract

A palynostratigraphic study of the upper Cunga and lower Quifangondo deposits in the Cabo de São Brás section, Kwanza Basin, Angola, has revealed a new pollen named Syncolpraedapollis angolensis nov. gen. sp. nov. This finding was part of a wider survey in the upper Cunga and lower Quifangondo deposits of the Cabo de São Brás section, Kwanza Basin, Angola, covering the latest Eocene to the latest Oligocene.

The novel pollen features unique characteristics, notably a 3-syncolporate structure with well-defined and distinctive pores. The pollen grain is adorned with a free but irregular reticulum with an irregular polygonal mesh. Syncolpraedapollis angolensis nov. gen. sp. nov. is sporadically but consistently observed within the latest Eocene-latest Oligocene interval, conspicuously absent in the underlying Eocene sediments (lower Cunga Formation) and occurring infrequently in the latest Oligocene sediments (lower Quifangondo Formation). Thus, it is plausible to infer a limited age range, likely restricted to the latest Eocene-latest Oligocene, as previous studies in the Kwanza Basin have not documented this pollen.

期刊介绍： The Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology is an international journal for articles in all fields of palaeobotany and palynology dealing with all groups, ranging from marine palynomorphs to higher land plants. Original contributions and comprehensive review papers should appeal to an international audience. Typical topics include but are not restricted to systematics, evolution, palaeobiology, palaeoecology, biostratigraphy, biochronology, palaeoclimatology, paleogeography, taphonomy, palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, vegetation history, and practical applications of palaeobotany and palynology, e.g. in coal and petroleum geology and archaeology. The journal especially encourages the publication of articles in which palaeobotany and palynology are applied for solving fundamental geological and biological problems as well as innovative and interdisciplinary approaches.
