Icnofósseis no Arenito do Guamá (Pará, Brasil): potenciais registros silurianos

Abstract

Ichnofossils of the Guamá Sandstone (Pará, Brazil): potential Silurian records. The Guamá Sandstone is a unit restricted to the Bragantina Platform in the northeast Pará State. It is characterized by thick layers of well-rounded, well-sorted, medium-grained quartz-sandstone with textural and compositional maturity. In general, the layers exhibit few preserved primary sedimentary structures. The facies association indicates a sandy coastal paleoenvironment comprising the foreshore and shoreface zones. We found in the Guamá Sandstone the ichnospecies Psammichnites isp., cf. Schaubcylindrichnus coronus, Skolithos isp., Skolithos linearis and V-shaped vertical excavations, which commonly compose a mixture of the Cruziana and Skolithos ichnofacies. On the basis of the regular distribution alternating between Skolithos and Psammichnites in the sandstone layers, and the low ichnodiversity and local abundance, we suggest that periodic changes in energy and sedimentation rate occurred. These characteristics of the Guamá Sandstone ichnoassemblage are similar to those of the Ipu (Parnaíba Basin) and Nhamundá (Amazon Basin) formations, although only Skolithos occurs in both units. Keywords: Guamá Sandstone, ichnofacies, foreshore-shoreface, Lower Silurian, paleoenvironment. RESUMO – O Arenito do Guamá é uma unidade restrita à Plataforma Bragantina no nordeste do Estado do Pará. Caracteriza-se por espessas camadas de quartzo-arenito de grão médio, bem arredondadas, bem selecionadas, com maturidade textural e composicional. Em geral, as camadas apresentam poucas estruturas sedimentares primárias preservadas. A associação de fácies indica um paleoambiente costeiro arenoso compreendendo as zonas de foreshore e shoreface. Encontramos no Arenito do Guamá a icnoespécie Psammichnites isp., cf. Schaubcylindrichnus coronus, Skolithos isp., Skolithos linearis e escavações verticais em forma de V, que comumente compõem uma mistura das icnofácies Cruziana e Skolithos. Com base na distribuição regular alternada entre Skolithos e Psammichnitos nas camadas de arenito e a baixa icnodiversidade e abundância local, sugerimos que ocorreram mudanças periódicas na energia e na taxa de sedimentação. Essas características da icnoassembleia do Arenito do Guamá são semelhantes às das formações Ipu (Bacia do Parnaíba) e Nhamundá (Bacia Amazônica), embora apenas Skolithos ocorra em ambas as unidades. Palavras-chave: Arenito do Guamá, icnofácies, foreshore-shoreface, Siluriano Inferior, paleoambiente.
