Las tafofloras triásicas de la región de los Lagos, Xma Región, Chile
Abstract
Resumen. Se da a conocer la composición florística y la descripción de algunas especies de tres tafofloras de la región de los Lagos del sur de Chile, provenientes de las localidades de Licán Ray, Punta Peters y cerro Tralcán (72°15’ S - 39°30’/39°45’ O), que forman parte de las Formaciones Panguipulli, las dos primeras, y Tralcán, la última. La flora se compone de 27 especies incluidas en los géneros: Hepatica indet., Neocalamites, Asterotheca, Cladophlebis, Gleichenites, Dicroidium, Johnstonia, Lepidopteris, Pterophyllum, Pseudoctenis, Sphenobaiera, Ginkgoites, Phoenicopsis, Rissikia, Heidiphyllum, Gen. et sp. indet., Linguifolium y Taeniopteris; se describen una nueva especie de Astrerotheca y dos nuevas especies de Pterophyllum. Se señala la composición cuantitativa en las tres localidades y se establece que las asociaciones tafonómicas son notoriamente diferentes, a pesar de ser, cronológica y geográficamente, muy cercanas, concluyéndose que tales diferencias obedecen, principalmente, a razones paleoambientales. Abstract. THE TRIASSIC TAPHOFLORAS FROM THE LAKE DISTRICT, XTH REGION, CHILE. A list of the fossil plants, in some cases with their description, from the Panguipulli and Tralcán Formations, from the localities Licán Ray, Punta Peters and Cerro Tralcán, from the Lake District (72º15’ S and 39º30’/39º45’ W), Xth Region, Chile, is presented. The flora is composed of 27 species of the following genera: Hepatica indet., Neocalamites, Asterotheca, Cladophlebis, Gleichenites, Dicroidium, Johnstonia, Lepidopteris, Pterophyllum, Pseudoctenis, Sphenobaiera, Ginkgoites, Phoenicopsis, Rissikia, Heidiphyllum, Gen. et sp. indet., Linguifolium and Taeniopteris; a new species of Astrerotheca and two new species of Pterophyllum are also described. The quantitative composition of the three localities is analyzed showing that they are quite different, in spite of being of similar age and geographically close to each other; it is suggested that the difference is basically paleoenvironmental.Downloads
