Also known as B-10-05

Where: Tarija, Bolivia (22.0° S, 65.1° W: paleocoordinates 22.4° S, 61.9° W)

• hand sample-level geographic resolution

When: Honda Group, Serravallian (13.8 - 11.6 Ma)

• Studies ofthe stratigraphic relationships among these areas are ongoing (including paleomagnetic and radioisotopic analyses).

•

•Similar lithology to Quebrada Honda and the Quebrada Rosario, suggests that it could be of similar age to most specimens from these areas (i.e., Serravallian age, ca. 13 Ma).

• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: terrestrial; mudstone

Size class: macrofossils
