Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Culebra | Member: | lower | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | bed | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: LITHOSTRATIGRAPHY: From the Culebra Formation, which unconformably overlies the Las Cascadas agglomerate; reassigned to La Boca Fm in subsequent publications of Woodring (e.g., 1973, 1982), but further emended by Kirby et al. (2009) to the lower member of the Culebra Formation. AGE: Early Miocene in text; direct date extrapolated from Kirby et al. (1999), =Aquitanian. | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | planar lamination,fine poorly lithified "shale" |
| Secondary lithology: | carbonaceous mudstone |

| Includes fossils? | Y |
| Lithology description: Collection assumed to be from lower part of formation. The lower part of the formation comprises: dark-colored, thin-bedded or laminated, fine-grained rocks; carbonaceous or lignitic shale, carbonaceous silty mudstone, tuffaceous siltstone. The upper part comprises: calcareous and sandy strata, and ranges from tuffaceous amd pebbly calcareous sandstone to sandy limestone. | |
| Environment: | marine indet. |
| Geology comments: No paleoenvironmental data reported. | |
