Stratigraphy
Formation: | Culebra | Member: | upper | ||
Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Culebra Formation, which unconformably overlies the Las Cascadas agglomerate; reassigned to La Boca Fm in subsequent publications of Woodring (e.g., 1973, 1982), but further emended by Kirby et al. (2009) to the lower member of the Culebra Formation. AGE: Early Miocene in text; direct date extrapolated from Kirby et al. (1999), =Burdigalian. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Assumed to be from upper part of formation. |
