| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Cruz et al. 2012: El perfil estratigráfico de la Cava de Carobolante fue ele-
gido de referencia ya que es el de mayor exposición vertical (3,50 a 5,20 m, Fig. 2) y porque de allí provienen la mayoría de los mamíferos fósiles que permitieron efectuar las correla- ciones estratigráficas. Nivel 3. Incluye 1,20 a 1,50 m de loess primario de color marrón amarillento, homogéneo, con muy bajo porcentaje de arenas muy finas. En comparación con los niveles inferiores se evidencia un aumento en el porcentaje de arcilla y una dismi- nución en el porcentaje de limo (Tab. 1). Este nivel contiene pequeñas concreciones de carbonato de calcio y rizoconcre- ciones carbonáticas | |||||
