Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Miocene |
Stage: | Tortonian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 |
Key time interval: | Tortonian | ||
Age range of interval: | 11.62000 - 7.24600 m.y. ago | ||

Stratigraphy comments: Lower part of the Gatun Formation. The Gatun Formation is sibdivided into three faunal zones (proposed by Thomson and Keen, 1946): lower, middle, and upper. AGE: Tortonian based on more recent dating (Hendy, 2012). Sr dating for nearby sections indicates an age of approximately 11.5 Ma (Hendy, unpublished data) |
