The present work documents and gathers the most relevant records of the organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts from different sites of the neuquén and austral Basins. Most of these records have contributed to the palaeoenvironmental, biostratigraphical and palaeobiogeographical interpretations of the different stratigraphical units in both basins. The dinoflagellate cysts assemblages come from the Springhill, Upper río Mayer, Piedra clavada, Kachaike and ?Margas Verdes? Formation of the austral Basin, and from the upper part of the Vaca Muertaand the agrio Formations of the neuquén Basin, several of these stratigraphical units conform the main petroleum systems in both basins.
