The Mesozoic Algarve Basin (AB) corresponds to the southernmost geological province of mainland Portugal. The Carrapateira Outlier (CO) is a small outcrop of Mesozoic rocks located 20 km north of the AB. In this study we investigated the palynology of the Jurassic (Upper Bajocian to Lower Kimmeridgian) of the AB and CO.
The Algarve Basin is an important Mesozoic sedimentary basin located in southern Portugal. Its onshore part consists largely of marine carbonate sediments with more than 2000 m in thickness. The basin extends offshore where its geology is recognized seismically and a few hydrocarbon exploration wells were drilled in the mid 70’s and early 80’s. The palynostratigraphical study of two of these wells, Ruivo- 1...
A análise palinoestratigráfica das sucessões jurássicas da região de Sagres (Bacia Algarvia) e do afloramento Mesozóico da Carrapateira permitiu a obtenção de novos dados bioestratigráficos, com base em dinoflagelados e miosporos. Os novos resultados confirmam, e em alguns casos refinam, as idades atribuídas a estas sucessões com base em macrofaunas.
The palynology of the Middle-Upper Jurassic fill of the Sagres region (Algarve Basin) and the Carrapateira outlier, southern Portugal was investigated. Samples were collected from Mareta beach, Cilheta beach and the Carrapateira outlier. Dinoflagellate cysts are confined to the Upper Bajocian to Upper Callovian sedimentary rocks exposed at Mareta and Cilheta beaches and the Lower Kimmeridgian strata of the C...
