Caracterização do conteúdo orgânico e posicionamento palinoestratigráfico de sedimentos eocretáceos na área de Aramari Bacia do Recôncavo

Abstract

The present study was based on analysis of the organic content of the shallow survey of well 9-69-BA-FBA located in the Recôncavo Basin. 126 samples for TOC and 35 pairs of blades were used for palynological and palynofacies analysis. The palynofacies analysis showed that particulate organic components are dominated by amorphous organic material in almost any section. Alien representatives are occasionally present and represented by phytoclasts, pollen grains and spores. The results of TOCshows percentages above 1% in almost the entire range studied. Through observation with white transmitted light and UV lightmicroscopy, it was possible to distinguish three distinct palynofacies section, considering the type and the degree of preservation of the organic material. The analysis of SCI (Spores Color Index) has maturation values between 4.5 to 5, featuring a degree of thermal maturation close to the window of hydrocarbons generation. The palynoflora association shows a low diversity of representatives, where among 292 palynomorphs with 28 genera and 11 species of pollen grains and spores, 167 are represented only by the species Classopollis classoides. Based on the present palynoflora association and the lithological analysis of the well, we can infer that sedimentation occurred in a fluvial-lacustrine deltaic paleoenvironment, under an arid to semi-arid atmosphere represented by the presence of abundant forms Rimuladas. Despite the non-detection of diagnostic forms of age guides, which define the palynozones of the paleostratigraphic framework valid for the Brazilian section of the lower Cretaceous (Classopollis classoides, Araucariacites australis, Equisetosporites sp.), the palynoflora recovered association indicates that these deposits are part of the Vitreisporites pallidus palynozone considered of age Aratu
