Abstract:
An abundant and diverse fungal assemblage was recovered from the Cullen Formation suggesting humid paleoenvironmental conditions. Thirty one different forms of fungal fruiting bodies, mostly belonging to the Microthyriales (Ascomycota), were recognized. Nineteen were assigned to fossil genera, including 6 known species. The others are presented as twelve different Types, and possibly represent new morphogenera. The genera/species Plochmopeltinites cooksonia Ramanujan and Rao, Microthyriella diporata Rao and Ramanujan, Microthyrites, Phragmothyrites eocaenicus Edwards, P. kiandrensis Selkirk and Perisporiacites are recorded for the first time in Argentina, enlarging their palaeogeographical distribution. A Miocene age is proposed for this formation in coincidence with that suggested for the fungal spore content and other palynological data. © Asociación Paleontológica Argentina.
