Resumen
Se muestrearon con fines palinológicos sedimentitas lacustres referidas a la Formación Lileo nov. aflorantes en las cercanías de la localidad de Los Miches, en el noroeste de la provincia del Neuquén, República Argentina. Sobre la base del análisis microflorístico las capas portadoras de palinomorfos pueden asignarse al Oligoceno Tardío - Mioceno Temprano. Las rocas muestreadas se caracterizan por lutitas negras, gris verdosas, gris oscuras y castaño claras, alternando con niveles delgados, a veces oolíticos de calizas gris claras, con superficie de meteorización blanco amarillenta. Entre estas sedimentitas se intercalan andesitas, tobas y aglomerados volcánicos de composición mesosilícica. En los afloramientos del área del río Guañacos se observan capas irregulares de carbonato fibroso tanto como baritina nodular con estructura fibroradial, junto con bivalvos indeterminados de agua dulce. La asociación microflorística muestra relativamente baja diversidad. En general, el género Nothofagidites domina la asociación. Los componentes principales de la microflora consisten en granos de polen pertenecientes a varios taxones de angiospermas, tales como Baumannipollis sp. cf. B. variaperturatus, Corsinipollenites atlantica, Milfordia sp., Nothofagidites saraensis, Smilacipites sp. cf. S. echinatus and Tricolpites asperamarginis junto con granos de polen de angiospermas de Araucariacites australis, Equisetosporites notensis y Podocarpidites spp. Los elementos de Pteridophyta/Bryophyta están representados por Cyatheacidites annulatus, Cicatricosisporites sp., Deltoidospora sp., Lycopodiumsporites austroclavatidites, Ricciaesporites sp. y Laevigatosporites ovatus, mientras que entre los taxones lacustres se reconocieron Azolla sp. y Botryococcus sp. (Chlorophyta).
Lacustrine sedimentary rocks referred to the Lileo Formation nov. cropping out near Los Miches locality, northwestern Neuquén Province, Argentine Republic, were sampled for palynological study. On the basis of the microfloristic analysis, the palynomorph-bearing beds can be ascribed a Late Oligocene to Early Miocene age. The sampled rocks are black, grey-green, dark grey and light brown shales alternating with thin,locally oolithic, light grey limestones, with yellowish white weathering. Among these rocks are interbedded andesites, tuffs, and volcanic agglomerates of mesosilicic composition. In the outcrops of the Guañacos river area, some irregular beds of fibrous carbonate have been observed as well as fibroradial nodular barite, together with some indeterminate fresh-water. The microfloristic assemblages have a relatively low diversity. In most of them the genus Nothofagidites dominates the association. The components present in the microflora are pollen grains corresponding to several angiosperm taxa, such as Baumannipollis sp. cf. B. variaperturatus, Corsinipollenites atlantica, Milfordia sp., Nothofagidites saraensis, Smilacipites sp. cf. S. echinatus and Tricolpites asperamarginis together with gymnosperm pollen grains of Araucariacites australis, Equisetosporites notensis and Podocarpidites spp. The Pteridophyta/Bryophyta elements are represented by Cyatheacidites annulatus, Cicatricosisporites sp., Deltoidospora sp., Lycopodiumsporites austroclavatidites, Ricciaesporites sp. and Laevigatosporites ovatus, whereas among the lacustrine taxa Azolla sp. and Botryococcus sp. (Chlorophyta) were recognized.
