Ostracodos e microfácies de depósitos margo-carbonatados do cenomaniano de São João das Lampas (Região de Sintra): aspectos paleoecológicos, biostratigráficos e paleobiogeográficos

Abstract

Este trabalho permitiu fazer a caracterização litológica, fossilífera e paleoecológica da sequência sedimentar de S. João das Lampas (plataforma a Norte do Maciço Eruptivo de Sintra), região de Lisboa. No campo foi estudada a sequência estratigráfica, com cerca de 12 metros, que se caracteriza por um conjunto de camadas com elevado potencial fossilífero, cuja composição compreende margas e argilas, por vezes de espessura centimétrica e milimétrica, intercaladas com rochas carbonatadas de vários centímetros de espessura. Foram recolhidas 50 amostras e analisadas em laboratório. Dentre os grupos fósseis foram reconhecidos Ostracodos (grupo que foi o principal foco deste estudo), Foraminíferos bentónicos (grandes e pequenos), Foraminíferos planctónicos, raros, Algas calcárias com maior ênfase e representatividade para o grupo das Dasicladáceas, Moluscos, Equinodermes e Serpulídeos. No que diz respeito aos ostracodos foram reconhecidas duas espécies tipicamente salobras, Fossocytheridea merlensis (Babinot & Colin, 1976) extraordinariamente abundante e com registo quase ininterrupto ao longo da sequência e Perissocytheridea estribeirensis Andreu, 1981; várias formas marinhas (litorais a sub-litorais) como Cythereis cf. condemiensis Breman, 1976, Cythereis ouillierensis Babinot, 1971, Cytherella cf. postangulata Babinot, 1980, Dolocytheridea iberica (Andreu, 1981), Paracaudites (Dumontina) aff. grekoffi (Babinot, 1971), P. (D.) juliensis Andreu, 1981, Platycythereis covoensis Andreu, 1981, Trachyleberidea aff. arta (Damotte, 1971); e apenas uma forma de água doce, Darwinula sp.1, pouco abundante e ocorrendo num único nível. Quanto à paleogeografia estas espécies também foram encontradas noutras regiões europeias, em níveis da mesma idade ou relativamente próxima. Nas microfácies cinco foram identificadas, uma delas dividida em dois subtipos. Dos microfósseis encontrados nestas fácies fazem parte Algas calcárias, representadas pelas espécies Heteroporella lepina (Praturlon, 1967) Granier et al., 1995, Neomeris cretacea Steinmann, 1899, Salpingoporella spp., Terquemella sp. e Boueina sp., com registo de ocorrência mais frequente; entre os Foraminíferos estão presentes formas de grandes bentónicos, como Pseudocyclammina rugosa (d’Orbigny, 1850), Buccicrenata hedbergi (Maync, 1953), Cuneolina sp., Daxia cenomana Cuvillier & Szakall, 1949. Nos macrofósseis destacam-se os Ostreídeos e os Bivalves em geral, quase sempre numerosos. Assim, com base nas características das associações de fósseis e das unidades estratigráficas equiparadas às de outras áreas equivalentes, nomeadamente Lousa e Cacém, foi possível caracterizar o ambiente deposicional como lagunar, de pequena profundidade e com hidrodinamismo predominantemente fraco, registando-se períodos com pequenas variações. Foram definidos quatro intervalos principais, dois dos quais com características de laguna confinada e os outros dois com características de laguna marinha de pequena profundidade, onde se verificou maior diversidade fossilífera.

This work allowed the lithological, palaeontological and palaeoecological characterization of the sedimentary sequence of S. João das Lampas (to the north of the Sintra Eruptive Massif), in the Lisbon region. Approximately 12 meters of the stratigraphic sequence were studied. It is characterized by a set of layers of high fossiliferous potential, composed of marls and clays, sometimes in centimetric and millimetric layers, , interbedded with several centimetre-thick carbonate beds. Fifty samples were collected and analyzed in the laboratory. Among the fossil groups, Ostracods (which were the main focus of this analysis), benthic Foraminifera (large and small), rare planktonic Foraminifera, and diverse calcareous Algae, (especially Dasycladales), Molluscs, Echinoderms and Serpulids were recognized. Concerning the Ostracods two typically brackish species were recognized, Fossocytheridea merlensis (Babinot & Colin, 1976) extraordinarily abundant and with largely continuous record along the sequence and Perissocytheridea estribeirensis Andreu, 1981; several marine forms (littoral to sublitoral) such as Cythereis cf. condemiensis Breman, 1976, Cythereis ouillierensis Babinot, 1971, Cytherella cf. postangulata Babinot, 1980, Dolocytheridea iberica (Andreu, 1981), Paracaudites (Dumontina) aff. grekoffi (Babinot, 1971), P. (D.) juliensis (Andreu, 1981), Platycythereis covoensis Andreu, 1981, Trachyleberidea aff. arta (Damotte, 1971); and only one freshwater form, Darwinula sp.1, scarce and occurring only in one level. With regard to palaeobiogeography, these species have also been found in other European regions, in levels of the same age or of a relatively close age. Five microfacies were identified, one of them divided in two subtypes. Among the microfossils found in these facies, calcareous Algae are often present, represented in particular by the species Heteroporella lepina (Praturlon, 1967) Granier et al., 1995, Neomeris cretacea Steinmann, 1899, Salpingoporella spp., Terquemella sp. and Boueina sp.; other group is the Foraminifera, among which large benthic forms are found, such as Pseudocyclammina rugosa (d’Orbigny, 1850), Buccicrenata hedbergi (Maync, 1953), Cuneolina sp., Daxia cenomana Cuvillier & Szakall, 1949. Among the macrofossils, the Oysters and the Bivalves in general stand out, almost always abundant. Thus, based on the fossil associations and comparing the stratigraphic units to those similarly occurring at other equivalent areas, namely Lousa and Cacém, it was possible to characterize the depositional environment as a shallow lagoon area, with predominantly low hydrodynamic conditions, where periods of minor variations occurred. Four main stages of environmental evolution were recognized, two of which with the characteristics of a restricted lagoon and the other two with the characteristics of a shallow marine lagoon, where greater fossil diversity has been noted.
