摘要
The Baquero Group is one of the most relevant units regarding the study of the early diversification of angiosperms in South America. Whereas the age of the upper part of the Group, namely the Punta del Barco Formation, has been recently dated at 114.67 +/- 0.18 Ma, the rest of the unit still lacks precise dating. In this contribution a CA-TIMS U-Pb zircon age of 118.23 +/- 0.09 Ma for a tuff interlayered with fossiliferous rocks of the Anfiteatro de Tico Formation (lower part of the Baquero Group) is reported. This age constrains the duration of deposition of the Baquero Group to approximately 4 Ma and provides new evidence for the age interpretation of the previously described angiosperm flora and associated pollen assemblages from this unit, until now interpreted as early Aptian or possibly Barremian in age. The Aptian age of the Baquero Group allows a better comparison between the paleofloras from this southernmost region. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
