Nearly all data regarding land-plant turnover across the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary come from western North America, relatively close to Chicxulub, Mexico impact site. Here, we present a palynological analysis of section in Patagonia that shows marked fall diversity and abundance nearly plant groups K/Pg interval. Minimum occurs during earliest Danian, but only few palynomorphs show true extinctions. The low extinction rate is similar previous observations New Zealand. differing responses...

Early Miocene shallow marine deposits in the region of Lago Posadas-Meseta Belgrano (Argentina) represent part “Patagoniense” transgression, an Atlantic incursion that flooded large Patagonia, including Austral (foreland) Basin (southern Patagonia). These deposits, referred as El Chacay or Guadal (Chile) formations, and transition to overlying Santa Cruz Formation were divided into seven facies: subtidal sand-bars, sandy muddy shelf estuarine complex fluvial channels floodplains....

Abstract Upper Maastrichtian to lower Paleocene, coarse‐grained deposits of the Lefipán Formation in Chubut Province, (Patagonia, Argentina) provide an opportunity study environmental changes across Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) boundary a shallow marine depositional environment. Marine palynological and organic geochemical analyses were performed on K–Pg interval at San Ramón section. The records from section are characteristic highly dynamic, nearshore setting. High abundances terrestrial...

This work presents new K-Ar and XRD illite data of Middle Jurassic sedimentary sequences (i.e., Mount Flora Camp Hill formations) the Antarctic Peninsula, providing a thermal evolution for Mesozoic tectonic history Peninsula adjacent regions. Samples Formation at Peninsula/Botany Bay yielded middle Permian to early Triassic ages, which are associated with upper lower anchizonal conditions, reflecting input detrital derived from Trinity Group. Maximum temperatures up ca. 175 °C constrained by...

ABSTRACT Bioclastic phosphorites composed of linguliform brachiopod shell debris remain largely unexplored from a sedimentological, process‐oriented perspective. Understanding the hydrodynamic behaviour these low‐density, platy sediments is essential for elucidating concentration mechanisms driving their accumulation. The present experimental study delves into this issue through determination settling velocity and critical shear organo‐phosphatic bioclasts derived extant Lingula anatina...
