Stratigraphy
Formation:Capas de Chimare
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: Referred to as the "Capas de Chimare", but possibly equivalent to the Jimol Fm of Cocinetas Basin (further S on Peninsula La Guajira). AGE: Stated by Bürgl to be Middle Miocene, on the macrofossil biostratigraphy; placed by enterer in Burdigalian-Langhian on the basis of macrofossil biostratigraphy and Sr isotope dating in Cocinetas Basin. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From unknown position within stratigraphy.
