Where: Neuquén, Argentina (39.0° S, 69.7° W: paleocoordinates 39.8° S, 64.2° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Cerro Bandera Formation, Colhuehuapian (21.0 - 17.5 Ma)
• Kramarz et al. (2005) concluded that the fossil- bearing deposits of the Cerro Bandera Formation correlate with the Lower Faunal Zone in the Colhue Huapi Member of the Sarmiento Formation at Gran Barranca (south of Colhue Huapi Lake, central Patagonia), dated at 21.1–20.1 Ma (Dunn et al., 2013), the type section for the Colhuehuapian South American Land Mammal Age (SALMA).
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: fluvial; paleosol/pedogenic, bentonitic, tuffaceous volcaniclastic sediments
•of pyroclastic deposits showing evidence of fluvial rework- ing and/or pedogenesis, alternating with primary fall-out pyroclastic deposits, with abundant bentonitic horizons in the lower section and scant intercalated sandstones in the upper section. The abundant tuffaceous and tuffitic con- tents would have originated from discontinuous ash fall derived from Andean or sub-Andean volcanic centers. The origin of these deposits is associated with a fluvial environ- ment in an intermontane foreland basin; lacustrine deposits accumulated in the central, topographically lower areas of the paleovalleys, whereas paleosols accumulated in the marginal, higher areas. This depositional system resulted in marked lateral facies variations among the currently isolated exposures (Leanza and Hugo, 1997; Kramarz et al., 2005).
