Palynology of the Albian–Turonian sediments from the Sumbe region, Kwanza Basin (Angola): Implications for paleoenvironment, paleoclimate, and paleogeography
Palynological investigations in the Sumbe region of the Kwanza Basin, Angola, have identified Albian to Turonian assemblages in four sections of the Quissonde Facies of the Mucanzo, Cabo Ledo, and Itombe formations. These studies aimed to determine their biostratigraphic ages and infer paleoenvironmental, paleoclimatic, and paleogeographic models. The presence of Odontochitina costata, Palaeohystrichophora infusorioides, and Xiphophoridium alatum cysts supports an upper Albian to lower Cenomanian age for the Mucanzo Formation. Litosphaeridium siphoniphorum cyst and the Elateroplicites africaensis pollen found In the Cabo Ledo Formation suggest a Cenomanian age, while Conosphaeridium striatoconum, Heterosphaeridium difficile, and Dinogymnium acuminatum supports a Turonian age for the lower part of the Itombe Formation. All samples predominantly contain fluorescent amorphous organic matter (AOM) derived from phytoplankton degradation, with increasing AOM in the uppermost units, indicating inner neritic marine deposition under dysoxic-anoxic conditions. During the Lower to mid-Cretaceous, the Gondwana breakup caused significant changes, with the palynological indicating a Tethyan affinity with some high-latitude taxa, suggesting a cosmopolitan distribution. The subtropical to tropical nature of the assemblages, along with high-latitude species, indicates a mid-Cretaceous water connection between the Central Atlantic and the South Atlantic oceans, extending to the Kwanza Basin.
期刊介绍:
Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings.
Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale.
Research Areas include:
• Regional geology
• Stratigraphy and palaeontology
• Palaeobiology
• Palaeobiogeography
• Palaeoceanography
• Palaeoclimatology
• Evolutionary Palaeoecology
• Geochronology
• Global events.
