Resumen

Abstract. The present work documents and gathers the most relevant records of the organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts from different sites of the Neuquén and Austral Basins. Most of these records have contributed to the palaeoenvironmental, biostratigraphical and palaeobiogeographical interpretations of the different stratigraphical units in both basins. The dinoflagellate cysts assemblages come from the Springhill, Upper Rio Mayer, Piedra Clavada, Kachaike and Margas Verdes Formation of the Austral Basin and, from the upper part of the Vaca Muerta Formation and the Agrio Formation of the Neuquen Basin, several of these stratigraphical units conform the main petroleum systems in both basins.

KEY WORDS. Cretaceous, Marine palynomorphs, Sedimentary basins, Argentina.

Resumen. QUISTES DE DINOFLAGELADOS DEL CRETÁCICO TEMPRANO DE LAS CUENCAS NEUQUINA Y AUSTRAL: BIOESTRATIGRAFÍA Y PALEOBIOGEOGRAFÍA. Se documentaron y recopilaron los registros más relevantes de los quistes de dinoflagelados de pared orgánica provenientes del Cretácico inferior de las cuencas Neuquina y Austral en diferentes localidades de estudio. La mayoría de estos registros han contribuido a las interpretaciones paleoambientales, bioestratigráficas y paleobiogeográficas de diferentes sucesiones sedimentarias marinas en ambas cuencas. Las asociaciones de quistes de dinoflagelados provienen de las Formaciones Springhill, Rio Mayer Superior, Piedra Clavada, Kachaike y “Margas Verdes” de la cuenca Austral y, de la parte superior de la Formación Vaca Muerta y de la Formación Agrio de la cuenca Neuquina, varias de estas unidades estratigráficas conforman los principales sistemas petroleros de ambas cuencas.

PALABRAS CLAVE. Cretácico, Palinomorfos marinos, Cuencas sedimentarias, Argentina.
