Stratigraphy
Formation:Castilletes Member:middle Castilletes
Local section:Long Local bed:16 m
Local order:bottom to top
Regional section:Cocinetas Regional bed:168 m
Regional order:bottom to top

Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Jimol Formation, which conformably overlies the Uipta Formation (early Miocene) and is unconformably overlain by the Castilletes Formation. This area and nearby collections have been previously mapped as Castilletes Formaton (late Pliocene-early Pleistocene). AGE: Burdigalian, on the basis of macrofaunal composition; direct age established by extrapolation of Sr-isotope dating by enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From approximately 168 m in regional section.
