Paleobotanical and palynological evidence for the age of the Matzitzi Formation, Mexico
This study addresses some of the stratigraphical problems of the Matzitzi Formation of Puebla and Oaxaca States in Mexico. The age assignment for this unit is controversial although most researchers today accept a Leonardian age (Kungurian, 279.3–272.3 Ma) based on the presence of the gigantopterid Lonesomia mexicana Weber. However, after re-examination of the holotype and two paratypes, the absence of diagnostic taxonomic characters prevents the assignment of this fossil type species to the gigantopterid group. Excluding the presence of gigantopterids in this formation, the macroflora seems to be Permian in age. Samples were collected for palynological analysis to determine the age of the formation. Studied palynological assemblages seem to be reworked and are represented by 18 fossil taxa assigned to the following genera: Calamospora, Deltoidospora, Densosporites, Granulatisporites, Laevigatosporites, Latipulvinites, Lophotriletes, Platysaccus, Punctatosporites, Raistrickia, Schopfipollenites, Thymospora, Triquitrites, Verrucosisporites, and Vesicaspora. Described palynomorphs are likely Late Pennsylvanian according to the presence of Latipulvinites kosankii and Thymospora thiessenii. The biostratigraphic and geochronologic age disparities should be solved in the future.
期刊介绍:
Created in 1835 by physicist François Arago, then Permanent Secretary, the journal Comptes Rendus de l''Académie des sciences allows researchers to quickly make their work known to the international scientific community.
It is divided into seven titles covering the range of scientific research fields: Mathematics, Mechanics, Chemistry, Biology, Geoscience, Physics and Palevol. Each series is led by an editor-in-chief assisted by an editorial committee. Submitted articles are reviewed by two scientists with recognized competence in the field concerned. They can be notes, announcing significant new results, as well as review articles, allowing for a fine-tuning, or even proceedings of symposia and other thematic issues, under the direction of invited editors, French or foreign.
