Key time interval: Early Miocene
Age range of interval: 23.04 - 15.98 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:San Julián
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From beds of the San Julián Fm, which unconformably overlies the Deseado Fm and is overlain by the Early Miocene Monte Leon Fm. THICKNESS: From multiple beds within formation that reaches a thickness of 80 m. AGE: Late Oligocene-Early Miocene according to molluscan biostratigraphy. Assigned to the Early Miocene based on the the recognition of the JR assemblage. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From uppermost parts of the formation.
