Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Castilletes Formation, which conformably overlies the Jimol Formation (early Miocene) and is unconformably overlain by the Ware Formation. AGE: Langhian, on the basis of macrofaunal composition and stratigraphic position; direct age established by extrapolation of Sr-isotope dating by enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Likely in upper part of the Castilletes Fm; from 423 m above Jimol/Castilletes contact. |
