Abstract(s)

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 Carrapateira outlier. The palynostratigraphical study of the Jurassic successions has yielded new biostratigraphical data based on dinoflagellate cysts and miospores. The results confirm, and in some cases refine, the existing macrofaunal age determinations of these successions.
