This unit shows a high diversity of spores, with subordinate gymnosperms (mainly represented by Podocarpaceae) and angiosperms (mainly represented by Proteaceae and Arecaceae). The abundance of these groups varies between the two fertile studied levels, being one dominated by ferns (mainly Cyathidites minor and Laevigatosporites ovatus) and the other by gymnosperms (Podocarpidites spp.). The presence of aquatic ferns (Azollopsis), diverse Podocarpaceae and key angiosperm taxa (such as Arecipites, Clavatipollenites, Dichastopollenites, and Spinizonocolpites) is indicative of warm and hyper-humid conditions. The great abundance of Arecaceae and the presence of some key taxa (e.g. Azollopsis sp., Ericipites scabratus, Peninsulapollis gillii, Proteacidites spp.) support a probable Maastrichtian age for the uppermost strata of the La Anita Formation. The multivariate statistical analysis here conducted showed that the La Anita Formation has its greatest similarity with the La Irene Formation (Maastrichtian from the Austral-Magallanes Basin). Both formations are also related with other coeval palynofloras from Patagonia and Antarctica.","PeriodicalId":39176,"journal":{"name":"Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Nueva Serie","volume":"22 1","pages":"45-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68256727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Petrographic characteristics as well as whole rock chemical composition suggest a time progressive increase in alkalis content and a shift from early transitional terms to basanitic rocks in the latest stages. A simulation of the source yielded for Las Lomadas rocks an astenospheric source in the garnet-spinel facies, with associated low partial melting percentages (< 7-8%). Within the studied rock set, the spatter cones sequence displays geochemical affinities with the basaltic component of Alta Sierra de Somun Cura Volcanic Complex.","PeriodicalId":39176,"journal":{"name":"Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Nueva Serie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44209299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fossils include the elasmarian (basal Iguanodontia) Isasicursor santacrucensis gen. et sp. nov., the large titanosaur Nullotitan glaciaris gen. et sp. nov., both large and small Megaraptoridae indet., and fragments of sauropod and theropod eggshells. The list of vertebrates is also composed by the Neognathae Kookne yeutensis gen. et sp. nov., two isolated caudal vertebrae of Mammalia indet., and isolated teeth of a large mosasaur. Remains of fishes, anurans, turtles, and snakes are represented by fragmentary material of low taxonomical value, with the exception of remains belonging to Calyptocephalellidae. On the other hand, a remarkable diversity of terrestrial and freshwater gastropods has been documented, as well as fossil woods and palinological assemblages. The Chorrillo Formation continues south, in the Las Chinas River valley, southern Chile, where it is called Dorotea Formation. Both units share in their lower two thirds abundant materials of titanosaurs, whose remains cease to appear in the upper third, registering only elasmarians (Chorrillo Formation) and hadrosaurs (Dorotea Formation). Above both units there are levels with remains of invertebrates and marine reptiles. It is striking that the dinosaurs of the lower two thirds of the Chorrillo and Dorotea formations are represented by large basal titanosaurs and Megaraptoridae coelurosaurs, being the Saltasaurinae and Aeolosaurinae sauropods and Abelisauridae theropods totally absent. In contrast, these taxa are dominant components in sedimentary units of central and northern Patagonia (e.g., Allen, Los Alamitos, La Colonia formations). Such differences could reflect, in part, a greater antiquity (i.e., late Campanian-early Maastrichtian) for the Chorrillo fossils, or, more probably, different environmental conditions. Thus, knowledge of the biota of the southern tip of Patagonia is expanded, particularly those temporarily close to the K-Pg boundary.","PeriodicalId":39176,"journal":{"name":"Revista del Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, Nueva Serie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44442696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
