摘要：

Elaterate pollen with elater-like protruberances including Elaterocolpites castelaini, Elaterosporites klaszii, E. protensus, E. verrucatus, Elateropollenites jardinei, Galaeocornea causea, G. clavis, Sofrepites legouxae, have been recovered from the 1S-3AX well in the offshore Tano Basin. The assemblage has been interpreted as Albian - Cenomanian age, and is indicative of an arid to semiarid palaeoclimatic conditions for these periods in the Tano Basin. Similar species have been interpreted as Albian - Cenomanian in other localities within the Africa-South America ( ASA) province and thus allows for a palynostratigraphic correlation with these localities in the ASA province.
