Icnofósiles en la Formación Ahuichila, noreste de México

Samuel Eguiluz-de Antuñano, María Isabel Hernández Ocaña

Resumen


En la Formación Auhichila hay trazas fósiles que se identifican a nivel icnogenérico como Planolites, Palaeophycus, Cochlichnus, Thalassinoides, Camborygma y ?Protovirgularia, así como rizolitos. Estas trazas posiblemente se asocian con la icnofacies Scoyenia, la cual se caracteriza por desarrollarse en sedimentos detríticos bien oxigenados de planicies de inundación y litoral lacustre. Se describe por primera vez la taxonomía de icnogéneros del Paleógeno en depósitos continentales en el noreste de México. Ante la carencia de fósiles, el conjunto icnogenérico ratifica el ambiente de depósito previamente interpretado. Tobas de extracuenca intercaladas en la sucesión datan al depósito como Oligoceno. La Formación Ahuichila tiene asociaciones de litofacies que se interpretan como sub-ambientes de abanico aluvial, fluvial, evaporítico y lacustre somero, en ellos se alojan selectivamente los icnogéneros estudiados. El conjunto de trazas se encuentra en condiciones de flujo hidrodinámico variable, con alternancia de condiciones húmedas y áridas durante su depósito. Deformación de sedimento blando se vincula con la evolución sintectónica de esta formación.

Palabras clave
