| Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From unnamed Quaternary terrace, which locally overlies Altamira Shale (middle-late Miocene). AGE: Late Pleistocene, following Marincovich (1976), but edited to middle Pleistocene by enterer on the basis of terrace position. STRATIGRAPHIC DETAILS: From terrace seven of Woodring et al. (1946). | |||||
