Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Castilletes | Member: | middle Castilletes | ||
| Local section: | Shavo | Local bed: | 7 m | ||
| Local order: | bottom to top | ||||
| Regional section: | Cocinetas | Regional bed: | 190 m | ||

| Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From the Castilletes Formation, which conformably overlies the Jimol Formation (early Miocene) and is unconformably overlain by the Ware Formation. AGE: Langhian, on the basis of macrofaunal composition and stratigraphic position; direct age established by extrapolation of Sr-isotope dating by enterer. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: Likely in lower middle part of the Castilletes Fm; from 190 m above Jimol/Castilletes contact. | |||||
