Corsinipollenites sp. 2

Figure 4.3

Material. Sample Pb-9334, Palynology Laboratory, IGLUNAM.

Description. Monad pollen, isopolar, radiosymmetric, amb triangular.Triporate, pores aspidate. Exine tectate, 0.8 P m thick, psilate.

Dimensions. Equatorial diameter 32.8 x 71.2 µm, one specimen measured.

Comparisons. Corsinipollenites sp. 2 is different from Corsinipollenites sp. 1 and Corsinipollenites sp. 3 of the same association, because it is larger, with a thinner exine and pores that are not as aspidate as in the other species of Corsinipollenites described in this contribution. This taxon is larger and has a thinner exine than Corsinipollenites atlantica from Argentina ( Barreda and Palamarczuk, 2000b) and Corsinipollenites cf. psilatus from the Melot Basin, southeast Sudan ( Eisawi and Schrank, 2008).
