Stratigraphy
| Formation: | Etadunna | ||||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Beck et al. (2020): estimated to be 26-24 Ma old (i.e. latest Oligocene) on the basis of isotopic, foraminiferal, magnetostratigraphic and radiometric (Rb-Sr dating of illite) data. More recently, the Etadunna Formation has been proposed to be 26.1-23.6 Ma old based on a best-fit age-model of magnetostratigraphic data | |||||
