Geography
| Country: | Ecuador |
| Coordinates: | 1.0° North, 79.6° West (view map) |
| Paleocoordinates: | 0.6° North, 78.0° West |
| Basis of coordinate: | estimated from map |
| Geographic resolution: | local area |
Time
| Period: | Neogene | Epoch: | Miocene |
| 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 6 | ||
| Key time interval: | Late/Upper Miocene | ||
| Age range of interval: | 11.63000 - 5.33300 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Angostura | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | formation | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Angostura Fm, which overlies the Viche Formation, and is overlain by the lower Onzole Formation. AGE: The Angostura Formation is Late Miocene age (planktic foraminiferal zone N. 16). It is apparently the Ecuadorian equivalent of the Gatun Formation of Panama. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: The formation is largely barren, but in a few places there are lenses or interbeds filled with finely preserved fossils. | |||||
