Their significant anatomical characteristics include a Calamus-type general stem pattern, the presence of well-preserved fibrovascular bundles (fvbs) with two wide metaxylem vessel elements (230 μm–250 μm) and one phloem strand, uniform density of fvbs, lack of continuity between protoxylem and metaxylem vessel elements, and an absence of centrifugal differentiation of sclerenchymatous fibrous parts. These features reveal a close resemblance to those of extant genera of scandent Calamoideae.

The fossils represent the oldest reliable fossil records of this family, supporting their Gondwanan origin, their importance in tracing their migration pathways from India to Europe and other continents after the docking of the Indian subcontinent with Eurasia during the Paleocene, and an “Out-of-India” dispersal hypothesis. Today the subfamily Calamoideae is disjunctly occurred in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and South America, but the poor deep-time fossil record of this subfamily with a small number of Cenozoic fossils makes hypotheses concerning its origin and dispersal difficult to evaluate.

The sediments are composed of quartz with small amounts of accessory minerals such as plagioclase, calcite, orthoclase, microcline, and zircon. Both beach sediments are classified as fine-grained and very well sorted, however LP has coarse skewed and leptokurtic sediments, whereas TA has fine-skewed and very leptokurtic sediments.

The quartz grain microtextures in the LP and TA are classified into mechanical, chemical, and mechanical/chemical origin. Mechanical features such as fractures, pits, percussion marks, abrasion fatigue, and V-shaped marks favor high-energy littoral, fluvial, subaqueous-marine, and aeolian environments. The chemical features indicate solution pits and crystalline overgrowth, which suggests a silica saturated marine environment. The mechanical/chemical features display adhering particles and elongated depressions suggest formation in a sub-aqueous nearshore marine environment. Major and trace elements-based provenance discrimination diagrams indicate a felsic source derived from the Mesa Central (MC), Sierra Madre Oriental (SMOr) and Oaxaquia terranes.

We compiled an ostracod dataset at the genus level, with 168 genera for the Albian and 174 for the Cenomanian, to which different multivariate statistical methods of grouping were applied. The affinity between different ostracod assemblages from different regions allowed for the delineation of 30 operational geographic units (OGUs) for the Albian, and 32 OGUs for the Cenomanian, grouped in three paleobiogeographic units (PBUs; Megatethys, Persia, and Austral) and one sub-unit (PBSU; Maghreb associated to the Megatethys). The Maghreb PBSU showed minor changes between the Albian and Cenomanian. The relationship among the OGUs grouped in each PBU is related to different factors, such as eustatic sea level events, similar climatic zones, and marine current circulation patterns. A relationship was observed between the Gabon and Nigeria OGUs with the Persia PBU, which suggests a direct east<strong>–</strong>west connection between them during the Cenomanian. The affinity observed in the Austral PBU between the South American, South African, and Australian regions during the Albian can be explained by their relative geographic isolation due to the Walvis Ridge barrier. The eventual flooding of this barrier led to the relationship observed between the SE Brazilian and Bolivian regions with the Austral PBU.

Three borehole sections from the eastern part of the CEB, forming a south-north transect perpendicular to the basin axis, were studied in terms to better understand the depositional history of the Lower Buntsandstein developed as the Baltic Formation in the studied Polish part of the basin. Eleven sedimentary facies were recognized, based on lithological and sedimentological investigations of 655.7 m of drill cores from the Otyń IG 1, Gorzów Wielkopolski IG 1 and Kamień Pomorski IG 1 boreholes. The facies can be grouped according to a lithological criterion into facies of predominantly siliciclastic lithology (including 9 facies types) and facies of predominantly carbonate lithology (including 2 facies types). Facies analysis allowed to distinguish 8 facies associations of: 1) alluvial fan, 2) playa, 3) sandy-muddy coastal plain, 4) embayment and distal delta, 5) lagoon, 6) sand bars or shoals, 7) ooidal shoals or bars, and 8) offshore. Deepening-upward (DC) and shallowing-upward (SC) sedimentary cycles were recognized in parts of the Baltic Formation, with DCs dominating in the southernmost located Otyń IG 1, and SCs dominating in Gorzów Wielkopolski IG 1, located in the axial part of the basin. Symmetrical cycles are very rare. The statistical significance of the sedimentary cycles is relatively low according to Markov-chain analysis conducted with the phpSedistat software of Stanova <em>et al.</em> (2009). Analysis of small–scale cycles performed on well logs of investigated boreholes and additional boreholes in the vicinity of Otyń IG 1, implementing the earlier study of Becker (2005), showed that the correlation of well-log cycles (GR cycles) and sedimentary cycles is not obvious. GR cycles can be roughly correlated with lithological carbonate–siliciclastic cycles (c-s cycles), reflecting alternations of facies groups of predominantly carbonate and siliciclastic lithology. Calibration of GR cycles to earlier magnetostratigraphic results of Nawrocki (1997) and Becker and Nawrocki (2014) showed that neither the boundaries of GR cycles serve as reference horizons, nor the cycles document equal time periods. All existing depositional models of the Lower Buntsandstein were discussed, stressing the possible simultaneous interaction of allochthonous and autochthonous processes. Moreover, the tectonic overprint of the Central European Basin system during the Early Triassic should be taken into account. The presented results suggest that the Lower Buntsandstein cyclicity of the CEB cannot serve as a basis for astrochronological analysis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100819,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Palaeogeography","volume":"13 2","pages":"Pages 252-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2095383624000026/pdfft?md5=1f53f5a276f84fd9cf628236e8551cb0&pid=1-s2.0-S2095383624000026-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139457632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
