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:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
