Descrição: dc.descriptionThe Santana Group of the Araripe Basin is a major paleontological unit in Brazil, incorporating two important Cretaceous Konservat-Lagerstätten. The lower formations are Aptian, but the age of the uppermost Romualdo Formation has been extended into the Albian. The precise chronostratigraphic position of this upper unit is of considerable significance because the Romualdo Formation records the Cretaceous marine ingression into the interior of Northeastern Brazil, thus playing a significant role in understanding the paleogeography of Gondwana. The main objective of this paper is to establish the chronostratigraphy of the Romualdo Formation based on its most complete section in the Araripe Basin, by determining the occurrence of palynomorphs, in particular establishing the vertical range of the species Sergipea variverrucata, a guide fossil of the Aptian in Brazil. Based on the presence of S. variverrucata, the Romualdo Formation is almost entirely Aptian in age. The palynological assemblage confirms the presence of at least three intervals with marine palynomorphs (dinoflagellate cysts and foraminiferal linings); and a typical regressive pattern towards the top of the Romualdo Formation, evidenced by progressive increase in inaperturate pollen grains (Araucariacites, Uesuguipollçenites and Inaperturopollenites). The palynological data presented herein indicate that the entire Santana Group is of Aptian age because of the conspicuous presence of Sergipea variverrucata and the absence of indisputably Albian forms. Precise dating of the Romualdo Formation signifies that the marine transgression into the interior of northeastern Brazil occurred in the late Aptian, thereby enabling correlation with the sedimentary events recorded in the Brazilian marginal basins.-
