Coordinates: 49.3° South, 67.7° West (view map)
Paleocoordinates:51.0° South, 58.6° West
Geographic resolution:local area
Time
Period:Paleogene Epoch:Oligocene
Stage:Rupelian 10 m.y. bin:Cenozoic 4
Key time interval:Early/Lower Oligocene
Age range of interval:33.90000 - 27.82000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Formation:San Julián
Stratigraphic resolution:group of beds
Stratigraphy comments: STRATIGRAPHIC RELATIONS: From beds of the San Julián Fm, which unconformably overlies the Bahia Laura Group and is overlain by the Early Miocene Monte Leon Fm. THICKNESS: From multiple beds within formation that reaches a thickness of 100 m. AGE: Early Oligocene to Late Oligocene according to molluscan biostratigraphy. Assigned to the Early Oligocene based on the presence of Zygochlamys geminatus. STRATIGRAPHIC POSITION: From upper parts of the formation.
