Description

A revision of benthic faunas and palynomorphs previously described from the Dornes syncline, southern Central Iberian Zone, Portugal, complemented with recent research, shows that the Serra de Luação Formation is of Lochkovian age. The systematics of the benthic faunas, with clear Gondwana affinities, are described in detail.
