^**NATALIA MEGO is a research scientist of the National Research Council of Argentina (CONICET). She obtained her Ph.D. in biology during 2010 from the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. For her Ph.D., Natalia studied Triassic palynomorph associations from Mendoza and San Juan provinces in Argentina. Her current research interests include Cretaceous and Paleogene palynology of the San Luis Basin in central-western Argentina.
^***MERCEDES B. PRÁMPARO is a Principal research scientist of the National Research Council of Argentina (CONICET). She is a member of the Palaeopalynological staff of the Argentinian Institute for Snow, Ice and Environmental Research (IANIGLA) since 1984, in Mendoza, Argentina. She has a degree in Geology and received a PhD from the Rio Cuarto University, Cordoba in 1989 for a thesis on the early Cretaceous angiosperm pollen grains and algae of a lacustrine central western Argentina basin. She has worked mainly on the Mesozoic palynology of continental and marine basins of Argentina. Her current major interests includes the biostratigraphy based on palynomorphs of the K/T boundary, Paleogene and Neogene of different basins of Argentina, Bolivia and Mexico, together with palynomorph provincialism, palaeoenvironmental and systematics of pollen, spores and dinoflagellate cysts.
